PUYALLUP, Wash. (AP) — An informant’s tip has led authorities to find four homemade explosive devices and other weapons buried at a Puyallup (pew-AL’-up), Wash., site.
Traffic was diverted Friday afternoon from the site on Shaw Road East and several homes were briefly evacuated. Puyallup police, federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents and members of the Pierce County sheriff’s bomb squad responded.
ATF spokeswoman Cheryl Bishop says the cache may be tied to a fugitive killed in a confrontation with bail bond agents in Lakewood more than two years ago.
Also found were detonating caps, a handgun, a shotgun, a mortar round and a 37-millimeter shell.
