Re: Wichita Bomb Squad - UPDATE
Update
Suspicious Device Shuts Down Part of a Kansas Highway
Jeff Herndon
August 4--The bomb squad was called out to investigate what appeared to be a pipe bomb this morning, where K-15 intersects with I-135.
Mike Henson spotted what he thought was construction debris. When he started to pick it up, he noticed it was a pipe with what looked like plastic packages stuffed inside.
Henson became concerned, and put a red flag by the object and called police. When they got on scene, two ramps on I-135 were shut down, as was a portion of K-15 between Wassail and 31st St. South.
The bomb squad attempted to detonate the plastic pipe with a robotic device, then determined it was safe.
The suspicious pipe was found in close range to some businesses on K-15, but no one was evacuated.
