Woman accused of leaving bomb in car at Washington state hospital — second found in home

A Washington woman was arrested in a hospital emergency room Thursday after she left a bomb in a car parked just outside, police said. Suspicious officers then searched her home — and found another bomb.

The woman, identified as Krista L. Hendershot, 42, was being driven to the ER at Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton, about 20 miles west of Seattle, when she told the driver that she was carrying a bomb, police said.

The man — who the Kitsap Sun newspaper, quoting an investigator, reported had stopped to assist the woman — told hospital staff, who called Bremerton police about 7:30 a.m. (10:30 a.m. ET).

Police sealed off the area and called the State Patrol bomb squad, which found the device in the car parked out front, Bremerton police said in a statement. Officers described it as "an improvised explosive device" comprising an agricultural field bomb nestled in a ring of six carbon dioxide canisters.

Police think another man, a transient that stays with the woman, might also be involved. So far, he hasn’t been located.
