The explosion shook an affluent neighborhood in this city just west of Fort Lauderdale. The force of the blast blew out doors and windows of the home and tossed debris into the swimming pool.
CHRISTINE FILUSCH/WITNESS: IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN. IT WAS AROUND TWELVE O'CLCOK AND THEN I SAW A LOT OF CARS COMING BY.
The bomb came in a box with the logo of an overnight package service. Reports from the scene say an 11-year-old neighbor boy saw it on the front step and brought it inside. he gave it to his 9-year-old friend, who took it inside and gave it to his mother. When she opened it, it blew up, killing the mother instantly and injuring the three children. Two boys are said to have suffered minor injuries. The sister complained of having no feeling in one of her legs.
There is no talk of a motive or suspect at this time, but the blast sent a scare to two other nearby homes which received packages as well. Those turned out to be harmless, legitimate deliveries. Agents of the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are all over the scene, trying to piece together the kind of explosive used. Diana Gonzalez, CBS News, Miami.))
