Bomb goes off in Colorado
We’re getting reports that a bomb of some sort detonated outside of a Colorado High School. The school is “Ponderosa High School”, located in the town of Parker, Colorado. Initial reports I received said there were injuries. However, as of five minutes ago Reuters and TheDenverChannel are reporting NO INJURIES, and one arrest.
The arrested individual is a student at the school and chemicals that had not yet been mixed were found in his possession.
I have two sources for this information at this point.
