(AP) MONROE, Mich. — (click title to entry - thank you) A law enforcement official says the man who was seriously injured along with two of his sons by a car bomb blast in Michigan is an area lawyer.
The official told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the adult victim injured in Tuesday's blast is 42-year-old Erik Chappell. The official is familiar with the investigation but who requested anonymity because he is not authorized to speak about it publicly.
Authorities are looking for clues about how the bomb was made and who might have planted it. They say the three victims are in serious condition at a Toledo, Ohio, hospital.
Chappell works for a Sylvania, Ohio-based firm that has an office in nearby Monroe. The firm declined to comment Wednesday and calls to Chappell's home rang unanswered.
How the heck did anyone get access to the car? Wasn't it parked in the garage? This is strange. At least no one is dead, although it is obvious it was intended to kill.
This may be a coincidence, but, with the execution of a man that was provided some of the poorest defense in the world, there could be riots.
