Capt.Storm Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 An explosive device detonated in New Jersey’s Seaside Park this morning as thousands of people were getting ready to run a 5k charity race, officials said. Police are investigating reports of the presence of at least one other device in the popular beach town, according to a spokesperson from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office. The device exploded in a garbage can at approximately 9:35 a.m. ET along the route of the Semper Five race scheduled for this morning. But the start of the race had been postponed after an unattended backpack was found so there was not a large number of runners in the area when the explosion occurred, according to The Associated Press and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office said. Officials said runners were scheduled to pass by the area around the time the explosion occurred, according to The Associated Press. According to the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office, there are no reported injuries or damages to surrounding structures. The area is on lockdown as bomb dogs search the area for additional devices. Various state and federal law enforcement agencies are investigating the blast. Al Della Fave, a spokesman for the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office, told ABC News that the incident was not "a prank" because the device was too sophisticated. Investigators are trying to determine a motive. "We don't know what this individual's agenda is," Della Fave said. ABC News’ Josh Margolin and Aaron Katersky contributed to this report. The Associated Press also contributed to this report. This is a breaking news story.
