The local Orlando news is reporting that an explosive device was set off outside a Walgreens drugstore in Winter Park. The burn mark is shown on the outside of the building wall. Employees called 911 for help and to my knowledge, all the employees are safe. No further information at this time and investigators are on the scene.

UPDATE:

Tampa Bay's 10 News:

WINTER PARK, Fla. (AP) -- Police say a small bomb exploded this morning outside of a Winter Park drug store.

Winter Park Police spokeswoman Sergeant Pam Marcum says three employees were inside the Walgreens store when they heard a popping noise at about 4:55 a-m.

No one was injured and police say the explosion caused only minimal damage to the building.

The incident remains under investigation.

The parking lot around the store is taped off.

OK is it just more reporting of these incidents, or are they happening more often recently?

Breaking news? News must be getting pretty thin out there in FReeper land. This will may make page 5 of the local paper tomorrow ... but it stands atop the FR breaking news masthead.

I agree, it's kind of dumb to consider a little local incident national breaking news. Same thing with car chases.

But I just know that Osama is behind this somehow! Or maybe Bat Boy.

5 AM detonation sounds like a collage kid “prank” – or the device was placed the day before and the person confused AM and PM.

Reality break: Teenagers still like to make bombs.

(Did everyone think teenagers would stop trying to blow up garbage cans, toilet bowls, hydrants and mailboxes just because suicide bombers came along?)

But, of course, this is not terrorism. (It never is.)

I'm certain Farrakhan has proof that Bush was behind this....that the number 19 is somehow tied in...

The columbine kids, OU bomber, and Timothy McVeigh all had a past as kids who liked to make bombs.

At some point Ted Kazynski took up the craft as well.

Tell me about it...

I posted a thread yesterday about two kids, and one more conspirator, Blowing away one of the kids parents in cold blood and they pulled it from the front page lists, and left one up about the card board cops somewhere in England. I honestly think it is the actual poster of the threads that take priority...it has to be.

Most kids who muck around with bombs grow up to be engineers, physicists and chemists; Very few turn into criminals.
