Police Chief Scott Russell (above) survived the blast that killed two other men, but he lost a leg and has had numerous surgeries. By Valerie Hurst, KATU News and KATU.com staffWOODBURN, Ore. - A Woodburn community bank has opened its doors for the first time since a bomb went off there back in December. The bomb killed two police officers. The day of the bombing, investigators responded to a call about a bomb that came in from the Wells Fargo bank next door. Officers found a device, but decided it wasn't dangerous. Soon after, a West Coast bank employee found a suspicious device in the bushes. Officers moved that device inside and it blew up, killing a trooper and police captain. Local Police Chief Scott Russell survived, but lost a leg and has gone through many surgeries. Suspects Bruce Turnidge and his son Joshua face aggravated murder charges in the deaths of the officers. |
