On the afternoon of June 1st. However, the levity of the afternoon was disturbed as I received a call from the news line reporting suspicious activity at the parking deck near Central Hospital, the caller describing a masked individual in a black jumper, tan cargo pants & a tan mask moving about the garage in a peculiar manner. As we were only a block away, we quickly rushed to the area. Upon arrival, we heard a very loud explosion. We then saw a black sedan being driven by a tan masked individual leaving the area. As we carefully explored the parking garage we came upon a burned out van on the upper level.
Not long after our arrival, Police Commissioner Hunter arrived on scene, having been alerted, we can only assume, by the same individual who contacted this reporter. As he examined the scene, it appeared as though he found no traces of gasoline, leading him to believe the explosion to have been caused by a bomb as opposed to other incendiary methods.
But why? There were no victims on scene, no other vehicles, no traces of any reasoning behind this. Was this a warning to someone? A practice for more sinister things to come? Was this crime perpetrated by the same individual(s) who placed a bomb at Patterson’s Cab Co on the evening prior?
No matter the questions, citizens can be rest assured that the free press will continue to look for answers. On that you may rely.
