2 hurt in explosion from intentionally set IED at Santa Maria Courthouse in California

Two people suffered non-life-threatening injuries from an explosion at the Santa Maria Courthouse in California, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office.

One person of interest — an adult male — was detained and is being interviewed, Santa Barbara County Sheriff public information officer Raquel Zick wrote on social media.

Authorities believe the explosion was the result of an “intentionally set improvised explosive device,” Zick said.

The bomb team is processing the scene, she said.

Police don’t believe there are any outstanding suspects, Zick added.

People are urged to stay away from the area.

The courthouse is closed for the day and city buildings within one block of the courthouse are temporarily closed, said Mark Van de Camp, spokesperson for the city of Santa Maria.
