Two IEDs Detonate at Eagle Ridge Mall in Florida, No One Injured


Florida police were seeking a man who was seen running from a mall where two improvised explosive devices detonated Sunday, authorities said.

Lakes Wales Deputy Police Chief Troy Schulze told reporters that two pipe bombs appeared to have detonated in a service corridor near a JCPenney store at Eagle Ridge Mall in Lake Wales, about 30 miles east of Tampa, at about 5:30 p.m., a half-hour before the mall was scheduled to close.

A third suspicious item was discovered near a movie theater, he said, but the state fire marshal's office determined that it was harmless.
