#8  I wonder how they detected the explosion?

Apparently there was a boom around 3 a.m. that sounded like an electrical transformer exploding, loud enough to awaken the neighborhood. Several people called it in. The body was found by a gentleman walking his dog in the morning, according to the article.

#7  The article indicates an explosion was heard by local residents, who phoned the news in. The police stated they checked out the scene (it was night) and found nothing. (Their method was probably similar to the Cleveland cops recently, who didn't find a dead body laying on the interstate despite having been told of it.) The remains were detected the next day.

#6  #3 I wonder how they detected the explosion?

I read a story about a guy discharging his AK-47 into his front lawn to scare off a gang of MS-13 who was threatening him in Long Island. The article said the police have acoustic-detecting equipment that can pinpoint a gunshot location to within 36 feet.

#5  I checked his Facebook account late last night after reading the report here. He's got friends from the ME, but that doesn't really mean anything. FBI will check them out, I'm sure. Other than that, he sounds like an ordinary college kid who liked music, movies, the usual.

Another report suggests it was either suicide, an accident, or he pissed someone off.

#4  Ticking probably stopped and he held it his ear to make sure.

#2  Eddington said Dalebroux had no criminal record but had previous contact with police. Police also said Dalebroux was "known'' to another police agency but declined to say which agency or why.

Wonder what this is about?

#1  Blue wire and green wire syndrone?

Fitz Park is right off the Metro line between stops on Main and Dempster, Ave. Beth Emet is another 6 blocks down on Dempster. Four more Synagogues are clustered a mile and half west on Dempster. Five more. a mile or so south on Dodge Ave. Probably just a coincidence.
