WARREN, MI -- Police say a Warren man in his 30s lost both his arms Saturday after a bomb he was handling inside his garage detonated unexpectedly. According to The Detroit News, the homeowner -- who has not been publicly identified -- was transported to a nearby hospital with severe injuries and remains hospitalized in critical condition.
The explosion occurred around 3:10 p.m. at a home located on Gentner Street near 8 Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue. Police say the man was under investigation prior to the explosion and a search warrant was conducted after the blast.
As part of the investigation into the explosion, police found several other bombs at the man’s house along with several different guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition. The investigation is ongoing.
Looks like a young Orlando Bloom.
“Let’s not be judgmental until we get all the facts, OK. LOL”
He may have been trying to rid the golf course of gophers, Caddyshack style.
Confirmed, Karma is real? /s
Yeah. He really blew it.
Go figure, we lived at the far west of 8 Mile (about 1,000 yards away) where it had turned into a dirt road in Livingston County.
Quite the bucolic area, not sure exactly how far the Detroit border is, maybe 30 miles +/-. The road ends westward in Whitmore Lake.
it’s just a flesh wound
I had a farm in rural Wisconsin. Farmers were blowing stuff up all the time. Ponds to instant dredge the muck, large boulders too large to move, bringing down old silos, tree stumps, or fracturing shale formations. We had mud from a farmers pond land on our house from a half mile away. They make big bombs (farmers).
Yeah. Farmers are huge in Detroit.
The pit bull kinda gave that away.
It’s odd you would mention that, because there is a tank plant in Warren.

He has that Richard Reed/Orlando Bloom kind of look.
Daily Mail says he only lost a hand. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10913169/Michigan-man-loses-hand-bomb-handling-explodes-garage.html
The big question is was he wearing a mask?!
Did they find his FBI badge in the rubble? Was his ‘cover’ exposed?
HaVING VISITED SUCH SITES, YOU ARE NOW ON THE FIB SUSPECTS LIST.
I say its a frame! They claim they found guns and yet they say that the guy is ‘armless’, which is it?
“police found several other bombs at the man’s house along with several different guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition.”
Unless he is muzz, what relevance is this?
Detroit News reports: “Correction: Police corrected on Monday the account of the resident’s injuries after initial information released Sunday was erroneous. He lost a hand in the explosion.”
