House Explosion Suspect Made ‘Concerning’ Posts Before Shocking Blast, Cops Say
Virginia cops revealed Tuesday that 56-year-old James Yoo is suspected of firing at cops before his house shockingly exploded Monday evening in the D.C. suburb of Arlington.
Authorities didn’t reveal the exact cause of the explosion, which viral clips showed a duplex home being entirely obliterated, but acknowledged that Yoo—who is now presumed dead—had made a series of “concerning” social media posts in the weeks leading up to the blast about “alleged frauds he believed were perpetrated against him.”
In a press conference, Arlington County Police Chief Andy Penn said that remains were recovered at the blast site, and that “all factors point to” them belonging to Yoo—ending fears a suspect may be on the loose. Three officers were also injured in the chaos.
