"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."

Did Trudeau rush to the scene and award the 4 perps $10 million dollars each?
Newspeak Doubletalk.
They don't do that randomly, they do it specifically.
Somebody set us up the bomb!
They’re trying so hard to remain politically correct that story is nearly incomprehensible.
It's pretty obvious that Officer Carver has been told that any mention, intimation, suggestion, or implication that anyone of any particular religious belief system was in any way responsible, connected, or present at the time of this explosion will result in the immediate termination of his employment with the Winnipeg Police Department.
No First Amendment rights in Canada, indeed to even suggest an evil group is evil is a crime.
I think if they state the facts, Canada’s “human rights commission” or whatever it’s called, will rain down fire and brimstone and fines upon them.
This incident seems so trivial, just a big bomb hanging around, not hurting anyone until they poked it. Why do journalists even bother reporting things that don't hurt President Trump?
“Nick Chastellaine, whose girlfriend was the one who took the bag, told CBC she intended to turn it over to police.”
RIGHT!
He noted, however, the bag was brought to a 7Eleven parking lot at Gallagher and Keewatin Street by someone not connected to the four people from the truck.
That person left the bag to go inside the store and it was then stolen by the people from the truck, he said.
Nick Chastellaine, whose girlfriend was the one who took the bag, told CBC she intended to turn it over to police.
My guess is that these 4 were stupid enough to act as the bag man for this bomb. The bomb maker probably told them they could make big bucks as a courier for a “package” (don’t ask any questions).
Manitobistan?
Aloha Snackbar
Not in Canada. They are so much more civilized than us.
Trudeau wants dead American medics before he pays up.
