Bomb squad sent to suspicious scene

HOUSTON

Two of the bombs exploded outside an apartment complex on Westward in southwest Houston.

The HPD bomb squad found a total of four plastic bottles filled with hydrochloric acid and sealed with aluminum. Two of the bottles exploded and the explosions are what had neighbors calling 9-1-1. No one was hurt and the bombs did not damage anything.

Investigators believe the bombs were a kid's prank. But how those kids got their hands on hydrochloric is still unknown.
