Terrorism has hit the Tri-Cities

[sobo]

So if you live in Kennewick and were trying to get to Taco Time or the Teriyaki Grille for lunch, but were stymied by the humungous traffic back-up in that area, and your call to the Tri-City Herald didn't net you any information, what do you do next?

 

Well, you might call the KPD non-emergency line, and they might ask you a whole lot of probing questions about who you are, where you live, and why you want to know and stuff. But if you're pleasant and patient with the dispatcher, he will eventually tell you that another officer will call you back.

 

So when the officer calls you back, and confirms who you are, and you ask him what is up with the huge traffic snarl, he tells you,

 

"We have a report of a bomb in the area."

"Oh really? A bomb threat, eh?"

"No sir. We have a report of a bomb."

"You mean a real bomb? Not a threat of a bomb?"

"That's correct sir. We have a bomb."

"Can you tell me where it is?"

"No sir, I can't tell you that right now."

 

No shit, this just happened when I was out for lunch.

So, wow, terrorism has hit the Tri-Cities. Go figure...
