Device Detonated Near Marathon Finish Line
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ―
    The Pittsburgh Bomb Squad used a robot to detect explosive materials in a package outside of the Greyhound bus station on May 2.
Runners in the Pittsburgh Marathon were detoured as they approached the finish due to a suspected pipe bomb near a bus station near the end of the course.

KDKA's Bob Allen observed the bomb squad at the Greyhound bus station at 11th Street and Liberty Avenue.

Allen observed bomb squad personnel getting into their special made suits and a robot being moved into position.

One officer at the scene said that the device was a microwave with a pipe bomb inside. The microwave was in a white box near the entrance of the building.

However, Police Chief Nate Harper would only confirm that there were suspicious contents inside the microwave.

The device has been detonated and Liberty Avenue and Grant Street are currently blocked off.

Police are looking for who left the device at the location, but police are going to review the surveillance video from security cameras in the area.
