THORNTON, Colo. — Thornton police say the two people who died outside a Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Hall in Thornton on Sunday had"issues" with the congregation and"were no longer welcome" to join it.
At the same time, there was a large explosion at the business, police said. It was closed at the time and nobody was injured. Based on the subsequent investigation, police learned that Enoch had been seen directing Melissa to back a black Dodge truck up to the Kingdom Hall, just below a window. Enoch then broke the window with a hammer and"placed what was later discovered to be three explosive devices into the Kingdom Hall building," police said. On Monday, police described those devices as"pipe bomb-like.
Police said none of the explosive devices in the building detonated. However, a bomb technician said a fuse on one of them"nearly detonated before being extinguished or experiencing a malfunction," police said. Bomb technicians with Adams County later rendered the devices safe.
