"It's just luck that they [victims] weren't more seriously injured," said Carver. "We've got video of the truck on fire. It's a horrific scene and I can tell you the Winnipeg Police Service has devoted all of the resources that we can to tying this up."
It is "incredibly alarming" that an IED was out there and injured four people, he said.
"It's obvious that it was designed for maximum effect, to create what it did in that vehicle. Was it designed to do that with an intended victim? I simply don't have that information at this point," Carver said.
"It's reasonable to assume that when someone has gone to all the trouble to make an explosive device of this power, that there's some back story. But I don't have the luxury of being able to share it at this point."
He apologized for being vague about what happened, saying he is struggling to balance the needs of transparency with the need to maintain the integrity of this investigation.
"I know it's confusing but that's the best we can do at this point," Carver said. "I have spent an inordinate amount of time trying to understand the nuances of this particular case as well."
The message he wants to underscore is that police do not feel there is any continued threat to the public.
"We are not looking for any other devices," he said "We do not believe that someone has randomly put an explosive device out in the public with the intention that innocent victims could be injured."

Don’t pick up abandoned bags. Sheesh.
Not as likely as a gang war ‘fail’.
Winterpeg has the largest number of ‘gang bangers’ of any Canadian city, except perhaps, for Toronto. The city is a dump, a mini Detroit. It has the largest number of Natives of any Canadian city and huge crack problem. Do a quick search of ‘Winnipeg gangs’ on YouTube and get an idea of the problem.
About five years ago, the MadCowz gang (mostly African) had a turf war with the Manitoba Warriors gang (Natives) where many houses were firebombed, to cut into each group’s business. Perhaps the war was about to be rekindled.
The man who said that his girlfriend was going to turn the bag over to the Po Po was named ‘Nick Chastellaine’. MANY Natives, especially in Manitoba, bear French names. The fact that the injured were all related and were so young, also suggests ‘First Nations’ or ‘Natives’.
I could be wrong, but since the Po Po remain mostly silent, I suspect the rekindling of a gang war.
Well, the the burnees steal a truck with a bomb in it, or did they steal a bomb and put it in their own truck?
Are we supposed to have sympathy for folks that go around stealing bombs (either in trucks or out of trucks)?
So, yes, I do have some unanswered questions.
Islam is a war plan.
“huge crack problem” (what, meth isn’t king yet?)
Being on drugs and handling explosives will lead to Darwin moment, I guess.
From what I’ve read, heroin, methadone, oxycontin are big. I just found a March 2017 CBC story that suggests meth use is growing fast, also. Obviously, for the gangs, whatever makes money.
That's because their heads are disconnected from their bodies.
Should have let them burn
Or try to have sex with them.
Stolen bomb? Of all things to steal, that should be quite low on your list.
