MOSES LAKE — The Grant County sheriff says an explosion at a Moses Lake home critically injured a 16-year-old boy.
Sheriff Tom Jones said the Wednesday afternoon call was initially described as a pipe bomb explosion. Officers locked the house down and called for the Richland police bomb squad to assess exactly what happened and whether the house contained any additional explosives.
The boy was being sent to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
An adult male was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
The sheriff says there were other people in the home at the time.
The sheriff’s office later turned the investigation over to Moses Lake police after determining that the address was actually inside city limits.
