VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — The explosion of a homemade cannon sent a Carson man to the hospital with serious injuries Sunday.
The Columbian reports that 42-year-old Raymond Lueders was flown to Portland’s Legacy Emanuel Medical Center around 1:30 p.m. Sunday after the explosion. He was listed in serious condition Monday.
Skamania County Undersheriff Dave Cox says it will be a few days until Lueders can be interviewed about the explosion, including questions about whether the cannon was fired to celebrate the Fourth of July.
