AUBURN, Wash. – Police in the city of Auburn, Washington are looking for a suspect who placed an explosive device in a person’s car while the victim attended a funeral, causing the vehicle to blow up.

Law enforcement authorities said a passenger in a dark sedan placed the bomb in the funeral-goer’s vehicle at Mountain View Cemetery on August 23, FOX 13 Seattle reported.

City employees who witnessed the crime trailed the suspect vehicle, which prompted the passenger to fire “several rounds” towards them as they made their getaway, according to the Auburn Police Department.

Despite property destruction to the vehicle and surrounding grounds, no one was injured in the explosion.
