PITTSBURGH – A construction worker discovered an incendiary device at Robinson Medical Center March 6.
The Allegheny County bomb squad, the county fire marshal and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive (ATF) were called in to deactivate it. After being analyzed, the device turned out to be fireworks intended to light gas inside the building.
