It is suspected that a pipe bomb that exploded at a federal courthouse in San Diego damaged the front entrance and blew out a window. There are no reports of injuries.
There were a few people around the building early Sunday morning when the explosion took place. The building is located in the
Gaslamp Quarter of the city.
The explosion took place at about 1:40 a.m. Sunday morning. About 40 agents combed the area looking fr explosives. At this time there have been no arrests.
Debris was found eight stories up across the street in the AT&T building that faces the courthouse. It is hoped that the surveillance cameras that are outside of the building will provide some answers. There are no cameras that face the doorway.
While the investigation is ongoing local streets have been closed. The courthouse will be closed on Monday so that repairs can be made.
