Suspected Pipe Bomb Forces School’s Closure
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Inglewood High School shut down for the day and sent its 2,100 students home Friday after what appeared to be a pipe bomb was found on the roof over a campus walkway, officials said.
A 16-year-old student who led authorities to the device was questioned and his home was searched, but no explosives were found there.
The sheriff’s bomb squad found the device suspicious enough to detonate it at the scene with other explosives, but authorities said it was not determined what was inside the device.
