Updated: Friday, April 19 2013, 11:48 AM EDT BANGOR, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Two small homemade explosive devices have exploded inside Bangor Middle School.

Police tell us a suspect is in custody right now.

"explosive devices have exploded inside Bangor Middle School". Do you have other info indicating it happened outside? If not, you may want to change the headline

Not totally harmless but not much danger unless you're right next to it, and no heat or flames.

Or Works and tin foil. Kids at my school who made bombs in the 80s/90s stuck to those.

I was thinking "hell has spread ACROSS New England" until I checked the Bangor Daily News...nothing about such a bombing. Then re read this article "Bangor Mich."

Bangor is in Western Michigan about ~30 miles west of Kalamazoo and ~75 miles northeast of Chicago.

"All clear" per The Kalamazoo Gazette/Mlive.com

Last week several people I know spread a Facebook warning about these devices that included HOW TO MAKE THE GD DEVICE!!!

pro tip: If the warning you are posting contains a description of how to make the device DON'T POST IT!

I think I learned that from a combination of Transformers and GI Joe, but I think it holds true.

Ever since the Boston bombing, stupid people have been taking advantage of the terror doing stuff like this. Just today in my state a student made a bomb threat to another school and that school was closed for the day. And when the cops asked the student why he did it, he said "it was a joke" some people are soooo pathetic!
