Drinking agencies, tobacco, guns and explosives have been identified, and one of the two grenades was detonated on July 18. “One of the grenades has not been calculated yet,” said Sheriff Robert Luna.
“We did a thorough search to find a second device, but we haven’t found it yet,” he said in the briefing.
He added that the ATF that is studying the explosion will also “completely control the whereabouts of another missing device.”
According to law enforcement sources, investigators learned that one of the grenades could only find one of the “spoons”, indicating that only one grenade exploded at the scene.
