NYPD Finds Explosives In Brooklyn Heights Apartment
January 20, 2008
NEW YORK -- The NYPD bomb squad rushed to a Brooklyn Heights apartment Sunday after officers saw what appeared to be several pipe bombs inside. Numerous weapons were also found inside the Remsen Street apartment, police said. Investigators are questioning the 31-year-old resident about why there were so many weapons inside the apartment.
Police stress there is no evidence of any plot or planned attack with the devices. Both police and emergency medical crews were sent to the apartment after the man called 911 saying he had shot himself in the hand, one law enforcement official said. The man was treated at an area hospital and is now being questioned at the 84th precinct station house, officials said. Once safely removed, the devices will be taken to a range in the Bronx and safely detonated, police said. Investigators will then examine the contents of the explosives to see what was in the devices, police said.
