COLORADO SPRINGS — The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) responded to what was originally believed to be a gunshot wound victim at a local hospital at 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday. CSPD said it believes the injuries may have come from a pipe bomb.
"The nature of his injuries are consistent with the handling of some type of explosive device, not from a gunshot," said a CSPD public information representative.
A regional bomb squad was notified and tried to get more information. The bomb squad later applied for a search warrant for the residence of the victim. They discovered materials consistent with the production of explosives in a home in the 3600 block of Birnamwood Drive in Briargate.
This incident is still under investigation. No one has been charged with a crime at this time according to CSPD.
