Metropolitan Police in Washington, DC are investigating three explosions set off at three different businesses in Northeast DC, with one of the explosives described as a Molotov cocktail-style device, the Washington Post reports.
The businesses were hit all within around a 15-minute period Sunday morning. Two of the business were within blocks of one another: A Truist Bank branch and a Nike store less than a mile from the US Capitol had small explosives set off at their front door around 4:30 a.m. About ten minutes later, the Molotov cocktail-style device was thrown at a Safeway grocery store about three miles away. Each of the buildings were damaged by the blasts, and police report the perpetrator fled the scene in a vehicle, although they did not report if it was reported by witnesses or surveillance footage.
