Two teens charged with setting off homemade bombs in Wal-Mart SKOWHEGAN, Maine Authorities in Maine say they've charged two teenagers with setting off homemade bombs in a Wal-Mart yesterday. The store was filled with holiday shoppers. Authorities say hundreds were evacuated and about eight were treated for eye or throat irritation after the acid bombs went off.
Police say they identified the boys with the help of security camera photos. Both teens have been charged with criminal use of explosives. They were released to their parents early this morning. Investigators say the boys also planted two other explosives on the lawn of a residence and one on top of a building in downtown Skowhegan. None of those bombs detonated.
The manager of the Wal-Mart says the store is open for business today.
