I heard what sounded like a blast and decided I was just imagining things and then saw someone said it was reported on KFOR from downtown Norman. I haven't heard anymore but it shook my front window but even then I thought it might be a sonic boom but then haven't had any of those here.

I am spooked and I admit it. I have seen the local media come right out and doubt what Boren is saying about this kid so I have no idea what to believe. The newspaper said they haven't found anything else but Channel 9 reported items were removed from the apartment complex by the bomb squad in their container for bombs so who knows what is fact right now. Bomb squad has been coming and going all day from the complex. They keep saying terrorism has not been ruled out too.

All I know is that this has been a strange weekend to say the least. Not sure who to believe either but the President of the University is getting less credibility with every newscast.

Thanks. It's important to remember that to academic liberals like Boren, anyone with an interest in ammo and guns is "emotionally disturbed."

I'm not trying to sugar coat anything here but again the police will use bomb removal equipment for chemicals or gunpowder if they feel there is a chance of it exploding. We see it here in AZ all the time on the news when they are clearing out a meth house. If this student had left over materials from the bomb in his apartment, they may have been removing this.
I checked KFOR's web page and didn't see anything about a recent explosion on there (of course they still haven't ID'd the student from last night so who knows maybe their web department is closed on Sundays).

more explosions? of what?

the university has to play up the "depressed, troubled" angle. what can they say, that he was some cheerful well adjusted guy who just went out and blew himself up next to the stadium. it just doesn't fit the story. now that's not to say that he might not be troubled, but how do they know unless they talk to people who knew him.

Where did you hear an interview with the president of the Triangle Fraternity? I haven't seen that. Please tell!

Also, there are pix here of the bomb squad taking out the materials at the Parkview Apartments, taken by an OU student who lives nearby:
