Pipe Bomb In Barboursville
WEST VIRGINIA...
A Cabell County man was killed early Saturday outside a Barboursville bar by a pipe bomb that he made, authorities said. The bomb exploded in the parking lot of Cactus Joe's on U.S. 60 around 2:30 a.m., killing the man. The bomb was apparently intended for the man's ex-wife, the dispatcher said, adding that the couple was from the Barboursville area and had a history of domestic incidents. No other injuries were reported. 20 to 30 residents were evacuated from the area while investigators searched for more bombs. West Virginia State Police said the agency's bomb technicians defused two other bombs that were found. The man's name has not been released.
