KING-TV: Everett couple injured in pipe bomb blast
Posted by John de Leon
An Everett man and his wife were injured on the Fourth of July when someone hurled a pipe bomb at them, according to our news partners at KING-TV. The couple was walking along 124th Street Southwest to view fireworks when the pipe bomb exploded.
"One of the doctors who operated on my daughter said it was the equivalent of a hand grenade," the injured woman's mother told KING-TV. "It just blew her basically through the air and she hit the ground and tore up her arm and the shrapnel went into her right foot."
The wife suffered injuries and her arms and legs and her husband also sustained leg injuries. There have been no arrests.
