A bomb squad detonated an explosive device “very similar to a pipe bomb” that was found in a Colorado high school on Monday, a bomb scare that forced the evacuation of the school and the closure of a nearby road for several hours as officials investigated.
Cmdr. Gene McCausey said that the explosive device could have hurt those in close proximity had it exploded without being removed from the school building by a teacher at Centaurus High School in Lafayette, Colo.
The FBI and ATF are now involved with the investigation as well, according to officials.
