CayceG Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 So there was a potential warrant being served is what I've read. I'm guessing the guy turned on the gas and did this to avoid legal consequences. It's an astounding video. EDIT: Oh noooo this was a duplex!

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 5, 2023 Author Share Posted December 5, 2023 According to the Arlington PD, the responding officers received incoming fire from what they believe to have been a firearm (not from the flaregun) when they attempted to execute the search warrant around 8:00pm and the house exploded 25 minutes later.

Burlington Street, in the Bluemont neighborhood, Arlington County police confirmed during a news conference this afternoon. Quote James Yoo, 56, is presumed dead as a result of the explosion of the duplex at 844 N. Burlington Street, in the Bluemont neighborhood, Arlington County police confirmed during a news conference this afternoon. Human remains were located at the scene, said Arlington County Police Chief Andy Penn, and the medical examiner is working to identify the remains. There are no ongoing threats to the community and no outstanding suspects, Penn added. Quote Neighbors told ARLnow that Yoo had previously pulled a knife on people looking at the house while it was listed for sale for a few months in 2021. Three days before Monday’s incident he had posted a paranoid rant on Linkedin against his neighbors in the duplex, at the end of quiet street that dead-ends at the Bluemont Junction Trail, near Arlington County Fire Station No. 2. Penn said that police are now aware of Yoo’s “concerning” social media posts, but noted that he was otherwise largely off the police department’s radar before last night. Quote Wilson — the neighbor who took the video of the explosion from his roof — described Yoo as a recluse and said he had aluminum foil covering the windows. After the home was listed for sale a couple of years ago, Yoo chased would-be buyers off with a knife, according to Wilson. Real estate records show the home was taken off the market on at the end of 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
