SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Another parade will go through downtown Spokane Saturday, passing the spot where a bomb was placed during Monday’s Martin Luther King Day parade.

The parade celebrating the Eastern Washington University football team’s national FCS championship starts and noon and goes to a rally at River Park Square.

A police spokeswoman, Jennifer DeRuwe, would not detail security plans, but said police will be doing their best to keep everyone safe. She says anyone who sees anything out of the ordinary should call 911.

The FBI is looking for whoever placed a backpack containing a bomb along Monday’s parade route.
