San Francisco building evacuated after possible explosive device found | adelaidenow

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Monday evening the bomb squad was called out to San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood and police shut down the 300 block of Columbus Avenue. The bomb squad arrived as soon as they got word and residents were evacuated.


It all began with a shot fired at a residential hotel on Columbus Avenue, near Vallejo. When police responded, they found a sword, a few semi-automatic weapons and what they believed to be explosives inside one of the rooms belonging to a woman who works as a custodian at the Federal Reserve. She was there earlier on Monday, where police say she suffered some kind of psychotic breakdown. During their conversation with her, they say she told them she had fired a gunshot from her room before she went to work and that's what prompted police to do a thorough check of her room at the Columbus Hotel.

"We forced entry due to the safety concerns, we found several weapons and what we believe was possibly an explosive device," he added. "She's a former US Marine apparently from what we understand. And she does have expertise in demolition."
