There was a report last night that, while the bomb squad was working on the "'coffee can' object", there was a "loud noise" that disturbed a prayer vigil that was being held nearby. Speculation (with which I tend to agree) was that the noise was an (explosive) action by the bomb squad (aka "blow it in place") to disable the object.
("When in doubt, use more explosives...")
Thank You...for the report.
