UPDATE 8 a.m.: 'Suspicious device' on Pullman bridge turns out to be harmless
September 16, 2008, 9:24 pm
The device turned out to be a Washington State University graduate student's project, Pullman Police Chief Ted Weatherly said, although he wasn't sure about the nature of the project.
The Spokane Bomb Squad assessed pictures of the device and advised Pullman Police officers how to safely determine whether it was dangerous.
Police said the item was discovered shortly after 7 p.m. by a group of juveniles. It was described as wires and tubes that were attached to the bridge with duct tape and was believed to be near a natural gas line that runs along the bridge.
"We just couldn't find any legitimate reason for it to be there," he said.
