Police Issue Preliminary Statement on Virginia Home Explosion

ARLINGTON, Va. – At approximately 4:45 p.m. on December 4, the Arlington County Police Department was dispatched to the 800 block of N. Burlington Street for the report of possible shots heard. The preliminary investigation indicated a suspect discharged a flare gun approximately 30 – 40 times from inside his residence into the surrounding neighborhood. No property damage or injuries were reported related to the discharge of the flare gun.

During the course of the investigation, officers obtained a search warrant for the suspect’s residence and attempted to make contact with the suspect over the telephone and through loudspeakers. The suspect did not respond and remained barricaded inside the residence. As officers were attempting to execute the search warrant, the suspect discharged several rounds, from what is believed to be a firearm, inside the home. Subsequently, at approximately 8:25 p.m., an explosion occurred at the residence. The investigation into the circumstances of the explosion are ongoing.

The Arlington County Fire Department responded to the scene to extinguish the fire. As of approximately 10:30 p.m., the fire is under control and crews continue to battle small spot fires.

Three officers reported minor injuries and there were no transports to the hospital related to this incident. The investigation is ongoing.

Who is James Yoo, man linked to Arlington house explosion in Virginia.

From FOX NEWS:
A Virginia man with a history of rambling social media posts and “frivolous” lawsuits has been linked to the Arlington house that exploded Monday night after police arrived to investigate claims that someone inside was shooting flares into the neighborhood.

The posts refer to his ex-wife as a “witch,” and anti-U.S. slogans including “#F—AMERICA” and quotes from Noam Chomsky.

The profile description claims he is a “Former Head of Information and Physical Security for international telecommunication company.”

“I gave THEM / Y’ALL every opportunity to ‘do the right thing’ and all I see is America’s hypocrisy, corruption, fraud, conspiracy…” the bio continues.

    “It looked like a gas leak explosion.”

    …maybe, but he’d been firing flares for awhile and probably had spot fires all over the place in there, so you’d think it would have lit before achieving a volume that would be that energetic…

  3. Jarhead Cracka – Watch the LWC show at the link. The FBI knew about him because he called them every day to complain about something. They had to come to his house and tell him to leave them alone. lol
