The federal law enforcement officer injured in an explosion on a government campus police say could be tied to the manufacture of drugs has resigned.

An officer at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Md. resigned after the explosion Saturday, NIST spokeswoman Gail Porter told the Associated Press.

The blast ripped through a NIST lab about 7:30 p.m. Saturday, sending a blast shield flying about 25 feet, indicating a powerful explosion.

"We are looking at the possibility that this was some sort of chemical reaction due to the manufacturing of drugs," Montgomery County Police Capt. Paul Starks said.

Federal law enforcement sources told News4 that pseudoephedrine, drain opener and a recipe for methamphetamine were found inside NIST Building 236 and that a NIST officer was found with burns to his hands and arms.

1. So I have to wonder if he found time

2. He must have.

He was a guard - it would have been difficult to explain his presence while off duty.
