Complete Headline: BREAKING NEWS: Pipe Bomb explodes on route of charity 5k run for military: Thousands of runners evacuated from Jersey Shore after explosion inside trash can — and there 'may be a second device'
A pipe bomb exploded in a Jersey Shore town shortly before thousands of runners were due to take part in a charity 5K race to benefit marines and sailors, authorities said.
No injuries were reported in the blast in Seaside Park, which occurred around 9:30am Saturday.
But officials are now following up on reports of a second device in the area.

It might be Hillary supporters. They hate the Military because the Military Loves Trump.
Somebody hates trash cans.
Trump should donate the amount that the 5K run was expected to raise. Then the terrorists lose and the Semper 5 run wins.
We should also consider making a modest donation. Maybe they can raise 10 times what they would have raised but for this attempted terrorist attack.
Our son is running in the Berlin Marathon on the 25th of this month. With all the ISIS threats about Berlin............well, color us concerned.
A ‘local family’, plus NJ has several people who train special forces on how to spot IEDs, and how to track down the person who planted them.
That’s a dangerous state to plant bombs in.
Rushmore, your concerns are realistic. I wonder if Mr Trump would open one of his golf courses for the Semper Fi run? Obviously it would destroy the greens, but that’s fixable...lost limbs and lives are not.
I hope your worries are for nothing and your son has a safe run in Berlin.
T.W.
Comey’s FBI is probably tracking down Richard Jewell as we speak.
Thank you.
If our next president opened his courses to blacks, I know he would be honored to host our Vets. You’re right, grass can be grown. Limbs and lives cannot.
BTW, revisiting the thread for updated comments, I notice that it came from a UK source. Interesting.
Local police spokesman said that start of race had been delayed or a lot of runners would have been near the blast. When asked if it was terrorism, he would not comment until investigation is completed. If I was in his place I’d be inclined to respond to that question with “What the hell do YOU think it was?”
Not many of those "families" left, and they're mainly hauling garbage, doing laundry and silent partners in casinos.
Reports say two others wired in series failed to detonate. The intent was to hurt or kill people.
Quote Francis Urquhart in the original house of cards, "You might well think so, but I couldn't possibly comment."
Or did the FBI say they would take care it, and never did?
Would terrorists lose if race not cancelled, but people die from bombings?
The money's been collected. I'll bet darned few would ask for or accept a refund!
From the news report they had several bombs linked up for a simultaneous detonation but didn’t go up, prolly f*cked up the wiring or fuses. Also the blast was directional with the explosion focused to the sides instead of just ‘blow up however’ if the bombmakers had any brains for maximum lethality. Punching a clean hole in the can instead of reducing it to kibble is actually a sign they got something right.
Yesterday NJ police was looking for 3 people near Montclair railway lines.
The FBI's job is to bury the evidence and make these stories go away. They're getting pretty good at it too.
