GAITHERSBURG, Md. -  A male teen is in custody and will be charged for the explosion at the Montgomery County Public Safety Building, which houses the county police headquarters.

On Tuesday, at about 11 a.m. an explosion was heard at the building causing windows to rattle. White smoke was observed in the area where the device was detonated, Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service says.

A Montgomery County Police spokesperson said bomb technicians have evidence that a "low-grade explosive" was set off in some shrubs near a parking area about 50-yards from the building entrance.
Witnesses informed police that they saw a teenage male in the area of the explosion in the parking lot. The teen denied involvement and knowledge of the explosive when questioned by police, officials said.

However, surveillance video showed the teen as he ignited an explosive device in front of the Public Safety Headquarters building.

"The suspect will be charged with possession and manufacturing an explosive device. Montgomery County Fire's Fire and Explosive Investigations Section, Montgomery County Police, Juvenile Services, and the State's Attorney will formalize the charges," officials said in a press release.

The building, which houses nearly 900 police, fire and highway employees was not evacuated and no injures were reported.

Well, the way they make shows is, they make one show. That show's called a pilot. Then they show that show to the people who make shows, and on the strength of that one show they decide if they're going to make more shows.

Like you, I used to think the world was this great place where everybody lived by the same standards I did, then some kid with a nail showed me I was living in his world, a world where chaos rules not order, a world where righteousness is not rewarded. That's Cesar's world, and if you're not willing to play by his rules, then you're gonna have to pay the price.

You think water moves fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder. After the avalanche, it took us a week to climb out. Now, I don't know exactly when we turned on each other, but I know that seven of us survived the slide... and only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I'm breaking now. We said we'd say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn't. Nature is lethal but it doesn't hold a candle to man.

You see? It's curious. Ted did figure it out - time travel. And when we get back, we gonna tell everyone. How it's possible, how it's done, what the dangers are. But then why fifty years in the future when the spacecraft encounters a black hole does the computer call it an 'unknown entry event'? Why don't they know? If they don't know, that means we never told anyone. And if we never told anyone it means we never made it back. Hence we die down here. Just as a matter of deductive logic.
