Explosives Found In and Near NAU Dorm

Authorities say five explosives in plastic bottles containing hydrochloric acid were found early Wednesday in and around a Northern Arizona University dormitory.

Flagstaff Fire Department spokesman Mark Johnson says no students were injured.

Johnson says a university police officer was taken to a local hospital as a precaution after she inhaled fumes from an explosive that went off in a dorm hallway.

NAU spokesman Tom Bauer says authorities were notified of a firecracker-like sound at Mountain View dorm.

Johnson says a second explosive found leaning on the door of a dorm room was neutralized.

Flagstaff police detonated a third explosive outside and two others went off causing no damage.

Bauer says no one has been arrested. University police are investigating the incident as a criminal matter.
