NORMAN -- An explosion near the University of Oklahoma's Memorial Stadium killed one person Saturday night, officials said.

Sgt. Gary Robinson of the OU Police Department confirmed there had been one fatality after an explosion that occurred about 7:20 p.m. during the second quarter of the OU-Kansas State football game.

The identity of the person who was found dead outside the botany-microbiology building was not immediately available.

Law enforcement officers cordoned off an area west of the stadium and were using bomb-sniffing dogs and a robot to search the area.

Authorities were not allowing anyone to exit the stadium.

"The identity of the person who was found dead outside the botany-microbiology building..."

Well, that had the potential for a different form of dirty bomb.

Kind of hard to identify smithereens.

They can always do DNA testing to identify the person killed. One good thing about the advancements of DNA is that you can tell who the parents are -- pretty much -- or have a ball park figure -- in terms of ethnic heritage.

So even if this is a foreign student, they probably can identify the country of origin and... Well, the rest is classified...
