Bomblike Devices Found On Southwest Side
Devices Resemble Pipe Bombs

CHICAGO -- Several devices, resembling pipe bombs, were found Friday on the southwest side.

The devices resembling pipe bombs were found on the 7700 block of South Kenton Avenue around 7:40 a.m. when police responded to a 911 call of a bomb threat, according to a Chicago Lawn District police sergeant.

He had no further information and could not say whether the devices were actually pipe bombs.

Fire Cmdr. Will Knight said firefighters were sent to the scene in response to the report of possible pipe bombs being found.

Sgt. Roger Elmer said that Bomb and Arson Unit officers were also sent to the scene, but he could not confirm if the devices were real pipe bombs.

News Affairs Deputy Director Pat Camden said he could not immediately verify the bomb threat as bona fide "because he was not at the scene."
