A pipe bomb allegedly provided by the suspects led to a bomb squad response and evacuation in Downtown Los Angeles on Monday.
After selling firearms, ammunition and gifting pipe bombs to an undercover federal agent, two Hemet men were taken into custody, authorities announced Wednesday, Aug. 31.
Between Aug. 23 and Tuesday, the two sold several guns, ammunition and six pipe bombs to the undercover agent in three separate transactions, the ATF said. On Aug. 23, the two allegedly sold a .45-caliber pistol, a .762-caliber rifle, a semi-automatic rifle without a serial number and a privately manufactured AR-style firearm without a serial number, officials said. About 590 rounds of ammunition were also sold to the undercover agent, the ATF said.
After the transfer, the Los Angeles Police Department’s bomb squad took custody of the pipe bomb and examined it with a robot, the ATF said. The pipe bomb was determined to be capable of causing an explosion, and the bomb was detonated safely, authorities said.
