FBI Seeks Person of Interest in Attempted Mall Bombing
The FBI is seeking a "person of interest" in an attempted bombing Wednesday morning at a Colorado mall, Fox 31 reports.
The incident came 12 years to the day of the deadly school shooting at Columbine High School, which is located just one mile away from the Southwest Plaza Mall in Littleton, Co.
The FBI released two images of the person that were recorded on surveillance video, and investigators are asking for the public's help in identifying the man.
"He's a person of interest, not a suspect," Jefferson County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Jackie Kelley said. "He was in the area, so he may be a witness."
Police describe him as a white male with graying hair and a silver mustache. He was wearing a dark cap with a light logo on the front, along with a shirt with gray and white horizontal stripes, dark jacket with silver buttons, blue jeans, and dark shoes.
The first device was found at about 11:50 a.m., when a mall employee noticed a fire in a hallway near the food court, the witness told Fox 31. The worker immediately contacted security officers who began evacuating the sprawling indoor shopping center.
The employee said the device was attached to two camping propane tanks, neither of which exploded.
The Jefferson County Bomb Squad responded and later found a pipe bomb in the same hallway, Kelley said.
When crews tried to explode the pipe bomb using a remote-controlled robot, it appeared to fall apart and detonation became unnecessary.
