I think it's a old story, not sure. Tried searching it and didn't come up with anything.

The story is about a guy, young man I believe who either robbed a bank or withdrew a large sum of money. He had a bomb around his neck and when it went off it blew a hole threw his chest.

Apparently there is a video DELETED(but I'm not going to go search it out right now because I don't want that sort of stuff being cached here at work lol) of the whole thing, even shows the bomb going off.

Anyone have a direct link to the news story or video?

DO NOT post crap like this again

did they ever figure out whether the delivery guy himself was the mastermind?

I always think that picture that you often see of him is kind of sad...he's just sitting there, by himself, all tied up, just before he died. It just seems so helpless.

They still haven't figured out exactly what happened yet did they?

I know what the original story said, pizza guy had bomb attached forcing him to rob bank, but did the police figure out an official story yet?

Looks like the FBI are still working on the case.

No, not yet. The FBI & local police are still investigating. They're still unsure if he was forced to do this or was in on this with others.
There have been a few updates though. The police apparently found what looked like a walking cane that Brian Wells was carring with him. Turns out it was made into a single shot gun(not sure about the calibur).
Brian Well's friend & co-worker that OD'd a few days after the bombing was found to be unrelated to the bombing/bank robbery.
 

I saw a news bit on dateline or something with other people claiming that it happened to them but they survived..... Wierd....

They said on the news after the autopsy that he wasn't dismembered by the blast. He was killed by blunt force tramua to the chest.

There were updates on this case on the news this morning so maybe it'll crop up all over again.

If you blame the police for his death you are a fool.

This isn't Lethal Weapon, this is real life. They did exactly what they should have, thanks to them there was only one death.

Sorry, about my hating cops statement, but its how i feel about certain police. My hometown in Bucks has the worst cops. THERE IS NO CRIME so the cops get board. They will bust you for sitting in a parking lot in your car if no other cars are around or stop you for skateboarding on a sidewalk. Hell I heard one cop stop my friend on a skateboard and get on his walky talkie and say " We have a skaeboarder here and i need backup. He looks dangerous". They them when they find nothing make up things like "We only stopped you or searched your car because you fit the description of someone we are looking for"

Philly cops are awesome but from personal hometown experiances I dont like most of them
