Bomb goes off at door of law firm
Police in Idaho Falls, Idaho, are investigating a bomb blast at a local law firm that occurred not long after midnight on Friday.
“A wall shaker, I knew it was more than a gun going off,” neighbor Payl Ahlstrom told KBOI. “It was pretty impressive to say the least.”
The explosion at Swafford & Ward occurred about 12:45 a.m. Police say a homemade bomb went off there and that the blast at the front door of the law office was intentional, reports EastIdahoNews.com. No one was injured but the explosion blew debris through a fence into a nearby house.
Alicia Cuellar lives across the street from the law office and says there is often someone working there at night. “We heard a car stop and we heard a door open,” she said. Then, after the car left, “the whole house shook” as the bomb went off.
Both the law firm and an adjacent home were damaged by a fire that followed the bomb blast, reports KTVB.
No one has been arrested.
