So, a bomb went off in clayton today across the street from my work.
It wasn't a big one, but it did severely injure the target (?) and I think a couple other people.... They evacuated all the high-rises on that block afterwards, which i happened to be able to see while sitting at my desk.
Last I heard, what happened was that a bomb was hidden in/as a box and set in an assigned parking space, when the guy moved the box... boom. Local gossip is that he was a lawyer in the building above the garage, and it was a retaliation attack involving a case... the news said he was a resident of the condo building attached to the law office... maybe both are right, or neither.
They had FBI/ATF stationed around the block all day, and people who have cars/belongings in the garage/building won't be able to get them until tomorrow.
Kind of Freaky, you know? I was actually staring at that building when it supposedly happened (I spend a fair amount of time randomly staring at that building, since it is the view from my window...) I didn't see/hear anything other than the evacuation, but i think the garage entrance is on the other side of the building.
