Police in Virginia arrested three students after uncovering bomb-making materials in a George Mason University dorm, according to court documents released Monday.
Authorities responded to reports of flames shooting out the window of a dorm room in Jefferson Hall last Wednesday. In the room, police found multiple materials consistent with manufacturing an explosive device. Police say there is no immediate threat to George Mason University students or the community surrounding Fairfax. Officials have yet to reveal the identities of the students involved, reports Fox 5.
Police initially confronted the residents of the dorm and noted seeing what appeared to be marijuana, according to court documents. After obtaining a search warrant, authorities found an array of explosives-making material, including a mortar and pestle, match books, shaved match heads, lighter fluid, hand sanitizer, candles and PVC pipe.
A bomb squad told campus police the materials were likely being used to make explosives, potentially fire bombs. Students in the George Mason dorm were shaken by the arrests.
