Sometimes you spot a crime story and you just have to watch it, even though few details are available. This is one of those times.
A police officer was seriously injured inside a Woodburn, Oregon bank Friday night. He was on the scene investigating a suspicious device found outside the bank. The device had been taken inside the West Coast Bank on Newberg Highway after it was found in the parking lot outside. According to CNN, two bank employees also suffered injuries and trauma as a result of the blast.
Three law enforcement entities were actually involved in the investigation when the bomb went off -- the Woodburn PD, Oregon State Police and the FBI. It's probably no coincidence that a bomb threat had been called in earlier on Friday against the Wells Fargo branch located just a few yards from the West Coast Bank. Police checked that threat out around 10:30 in the morning and found nothing.
Bombers are serious business -- like I said, this may be a story to watch, unless the police can trace the bomb maker quickly. [CNN.com]
