Bomb parts said to be in home
Authorities found bomb-making material at the rural home of a man accused along with his son of killing two law enforcement officers in an explosion at a Woodburn bank, a court document said.
Some of the material found at Bruce Turnidge’s home matched that used in the bomb that killed the officers and critically injured a third Dec. 12, the probable cause statement said. It also said some of the material was found in a nearby stream, with fresh foot and tire tracks leading to it.
State police bomb technician William Hakim and Woodburn Police Capt. Tom Tennant were killed in the blast. Woodburn Police Chief Scott Russell lost a leg and is listed in critical condition.
Turnidge, 57, and his son Joshua, 32, are charged with aggravated murder.
