[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the family ok that shares the duplex with him? I can’t watch news with my kids close by [/quote]

No injuries reported per ARLnow. I think I saw somewhere that the neighbors had been evacuated before the explosion. [/quote]

I also saw the report of no injuries but surely the suspect is??[/quote]

The police report wording is strange, it does not mention the condition of the suspect (alive? hurt? in custody?)

"Police Issue Preliminary Statement on Home Explosion
ARLINGTON, Va. – At approximately 4:45 p.m. on December 4, the Arlington County Police Department was dispatched to the 800 block of N. Burlington Street for the report of possible shots heard. The preliminary investigation indicated a suspect discharged a flare gun approximately 30 – 40 times from inside his residence into the surrounding neighborhood. No property damage or injuries were reported related to the discharge of the flare gun.

During the course of the investigation, officers obtained a search warrant for the suspect’s residence and attempted to make contact with the suspect over the telephone and through loudspeakers. The suspect did not respond and remained barricaded inside the residence. As officers were attempting to execute the search warrant, the suspect discharged several rounds, from what is believed to be a firearm, inside the home. Subsequently, at approximately 8:25 p.m., an explosion occurred at the residence. The investigation into the circumstances of the explosion are ongoing.

The Arlington County Fire Department responded to the scene to extinguish the fire. As of approximately 10:30 p.m., the fire is under control and crews continue to battle small spot fires.

Three officers reported minor injuries and there were no transports to the hospital related to this incident. The investigation is ongoing."

Remember how long they looked for that submarine even though everyone involved heard the bang and knew what had happened?  Same deal here.  They can clearly confirm he is gone, though all signs point to yes, until they really confirm it.[/quote]
