Car Bomb in Memphis?

Fox is reporting that the A.T.F. is investigating an explosion in Memphis outside of a funeral home that may be linked to a similar incident last month in Arkansas.

From Fox13:

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Fire Department and Bomb Squad are on the scene of a car explosion at 5545 Murray Road near Oakhaven and the Memorial Funeral Home in East Memphis.

The incident happened just before noon Thursday, when a gold Nissan Maxima exploded in a parking lot. The condition of the female owner of the car is not known, but has been transported to The Med for injuries sustained from the explosion.

Memphis Police Director Larry Godwin says that they are working closely with the FBI & ATF officers, and that the scene is safely secured. Godwin stated that they plan to deploy a bomb robot to ensure that no other explosive devices are in the area. A bomb-sniffing dog will comb the area as a final precaution.

The car owner’s husband has been detained by police as a person of interest in this incident.

Story is still developing.
