On Saturday at about 8:30 pm, a bomb went off in Manhattan, New York near Chelsea. The explosion injured 29 people. It is not believed to be a terrorist attack at this time, though it was intentional. There were no fatalities, and all of those who were injured were released from the hospital Sunday morning. Apparently the explosion came from a dumpster and appeared to be a homemade bomb. There was a second device found that did not explode. The device was found about three hours after the initial explosion and resembled that of the pressure cooker bomb in the Boston Marathon bombings.
According to the New York Times, Governor Cuomo of New York said that "there was no evidence of an international terrorist connection to the incident and said that no groups had claimed credit." As of now there are no suspects, which is what authorities are working on finding out. The public are being asked to provide any footage or video they got of the explosion. About 11 hours before, there was a separate explosion in Seaside Park, New Jersey that does not appear to be related. This device also exploded inside a trash can near the start of a charity race. As of now, authorities don't seem to know much. They don't know why the specific location was chosen, who was behind this and what the motive was, or what was inside the discovered pressure cooker.
According to CNN, a surveillance video has been discovered which shows a person near where the explosion occurred. Police are still determining whether that person has a connection to the blast. Security has increased in all five burroughs of New York Sunday.
