Suspicious device found in German Township not a bomb, officials say
GERMAN TWP. – Emergency officials closed down a popular walking trail in German Township on Tuesday after someone spotted what appeared to be a pipe bomb along the trial.
However, after several hours of investigation, the Allegheny County Bomb Squad determined that the suspicious device found on Brown’s Run Trail was not incendiary in nature and it was taken into evidence for further analysis, according to state police.
Township supervisor Dan Shimshock said that the township was alerted of the item Tuesday morning by someone who had been on the trail and said that after his fellow supervisors conducted a visual inspection of the material in question, the state police were called.
