POSTED: 11:17 am EDT October 17, 2008 UPDATED: 2:12 pm EDT October 17, 2008 DALTON, Ga. -- One person has died and four people were injured in an explosion at a small-town law firm in northern Georgia Friday. Police said it appears an explosive device was detonated. "We do not know what kind of device it was," said Officer Bruce Frazier with the Dalton Police Department. He also said the device didn't appear to be large enough to damage surrounding buildings. Dalton police confirmed one person is dead on the backside of the building. Police said a call came in about a disturbance and when the officer arrived, a man ran to the rear of the building, then an explosion occured. The officer was not injured. Four people other than the bomber were hurt. Out of the four people injured, one person was flown to the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, one person was admitted to Hamilton Medical Center and two people were treated and released. The local newspaper in Dalton, The Daily Citizen, identified the suspect as Lloyd Cantrell. Witnesses said the blast at about 10 a.m. Friday blew out the windows at McCamy, Phillips, Tuggle & Fordham Law Firm on West Crawford Street. "As I was exiting the post office I saw smoke coming up from the law firm and police officer told us to get back because it was a bomb," said one witness. SLIDESHOW: Dalton | |
