LIVE IN MANNING, KOIN 6 NEWS.
JEFF: THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE.
OREGON STATE POLICE FOUND A
SUSPICIOUS BAGS HANGING FROM THE
BRIDGE.
THE INVESTIGATION
KEPT THE
BRIDGE CLOSED FOR HOURS.
ILENE WAS ON SCENE AS THAT
WAS HAPPENING.
AND HAS MORE.
ILENE:
HERE'S A ROBOT OVER
--
HEADING OVER TO THE BACKPACK.
THEY ALSO USED A WATER CANNON TO
OPEN THE BACKPACK.
WHEN IT WAS
SAFE ENOUGH,
INVESTIGATORS WENT TO SEE WHAT
WAS INSIDE AND FOUND CLOTHES,
KNIVES, AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS
ITEMS BUT NOTHING EXPLOSIVE.
IT IS HARD TO COME UP WITH A
REASONABLE EXPLANATION AS TO WHY
SOMEONE WOULD LOWER BACKPACKS
DOWN FROM THE BRIDGE.
ILENE:
OFFICIALS SAY THIS MAN
EXPLAINED HE DID THIS OUT OF A
DISAGREEMENT WITH SOMEONE.
HE DISTRUSTED JUNK PICKUP.
ILENE: MANY PULLED OVER TO THE
SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WHITE AND
-- AND WAITED.
I TOLD MY SUPERVISOR
THAT I
WOULD RATHER BE WORKING THEN BE
STANDING HERE.
WE STILL HAVE WORK TO DO, SO
MISSING TIME IS NOT A GOOD
THING.
ARE YOU LOSING MONEY?
OH YEAH.
EVERYONE WAS RELIEVED THERE
