bomb

Authorities in Lincoln County say an improvised explosive was set off in a mailbox in Shoshone on Friday.

Southern Idaho authorities say a homemade bomb went off inside a mail box in Shoshone this afternoon.

Just before 8:30pm, September 23, Facebook and Twitter blew up with reports from all over the Magic Valley of hearing and feeling a "quake" or a "rumble."  Many posts that I read claim their windows shook, doors rattled and some of you said your pets were freaking out just before you felt it.

There are several people I know that have run the Boston Marathon so when I heard the news today my heart stopped. For a moment I couldn't hear anything around me and my soul was overwhelmed with sadness.
