Five people, including two Rochester police officers, were hurt when three homemade pipe bombs exploded in the city’s 19th Ward Tuesday night. The officers and three other people suffered what authorities called minor injuries when the explosives went off around 9:15pm on Pioneer Street, near Weldon Street. The explosion happened in a square block area south of Brooks Avenue just west of Genesee Valley Park.
Police continued to investigate the scene late Tuesday night and did not offer details of the circumstances that led to the bombs exploding. Breaking News |
