Authorities are looking for the person who allegedly detonated or threw explosive devices at businesses in Washington, DC, on Sunday morning, USA Today reported.
The Metropolitan Police Department said the string of incidents began at 4:30 a.m. when an explosive device was detonated outside Truist Bank on Washington Place, the newspaper said Monday.
Another device was detonated near the front doors of a Nike store on H Street six minutes later, and at 4:45 a.m. a suspect lobbed a “Molotov cocktail style object” at a Safeway on 40th Street.
Video footage shows the three damaged businesses:
“In each of these offenses, it appears the suspect targeted commercial establishments and it does not appear the suspect was targeting any members of the public,” MPD said in its press release Sunday just after 11:00 a.m., adding the businesses were closed at the time and there were no reported injuries.
