Source Of Explosive Sound Heard Outside Baltimore Courthouse Still Unknown
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Reports of an explosion at a busy downtown courthouse shuts down several city blocks. Hazmat crews and the bomb squad—all brought in to investigate.

Kai Jackson explains—authorities still don’t know what caused the big boom.

The source of the loud sound is still under investigation. But the reaction it caused was clear.

A booming sound rocked the inside and outside of the Mitchell Courthouse on Thursday. Authorities weren’t sure what caused it, but as a precaution, hundreds of employees and jurors were evacuated.

“I heard a noise. I heard one big noise and they said, ‘yeah, it’s something happening outside,’” said Joe Lewton, evacuee. “And then a half an hour later, the next thing you know they’re like, ‘alright let’s go. Pack ‘em up.”

The response was swift and included the Baltimore City police bomb squad and the city fire department. The Baltimore City Sheriff’s Office, which is responsible for courthouse security, also investigated.

“Around 2:30 today there was a large sound, a very loud sound that emanated from one of the trash cans that was outside the west building courthouse,” said Lt. Carla Lightsey, Baltimore City Sheriff’s Office.

The Department of Homeland Security was also on the scene.

Investigators didn’t find anything incendiary. They couldn’t confirm there had even been an explosion.

Authorities still haven’t determined what that loud sound was, but say through their investigation they believe something was indeed placed inside the trash can.

“In terms of casualties, we were very blessed. There was nothing there,” Lightsey said.

No one was hurt and no damage was reported. A city police bomb robot swept the area, but found nothing.

All roads closed around the courthouse were eventually reopened.

It can't really be pinpointed at this time" said Lt. Carla Lightsey, a spokeswoman for the Baltimore City Sheriff's Office, told reporters at the scene.





When asked if authorities believed someone had intentionally detonated an explosive device, she said, "All sources would probably point that there was something put there."

Ya, you need to land on the Suns home page and read the updated article.

Anyways, a loud noise in a garbage can...and people get jumpy. Woo Woo.

Authorities say that they believe that a firecracker caused the loud bang outside of Baltimore's Clarence M. Mitchell Jr. Courthouse on Thursday afternoon, prompting a bomb scare that closed downtown streets during rush hour.

Maj. Sam Cogen of the city sheriff's department said the material that caused the small explosion is being analyzed by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives but was "characteristic of a firework."

He said a more specific description was not available because authorities had not determined what specific kind of device was used.
