Investigation continues into bombing at Satanic Temple in Salem

Published 3 hours ago • Updated 2 hours ago

An attempted bombing investigation is now underway in Salem, Massachusetts, after someone allegedly threw an explosive at the Satanic Temple.

The FBI is now joining other law enforcement agencies for this investigation.

The device was left at the Bridge Street temple at about 4 a.m. Monday, damaging the building, Salem police said.

Neighbors reported hearing a bang, but thinking it just sounded like a truck hitting a pothole.

The temple wasn't open at the time and no injuries were reported. A staff member discovered the failed explosive about 12 hours later.
