#4 Unfortunately, it was a police officer that was killed (and there are several injured as well). There are also reports of shooting, so it's unclear exactly how the death/injuries occured. |

#2 It's now being reported that one person is dead in the 'controlled' explosion. Let's hope it was one of the suspects. |
