A sketch of the man suspected of bombing the Colorado NAACP building has been released by the FBI, USA Today reported on Friday. The bureau is still yet to comment about the motive of the incident.
A homemade bomb went off Tuesday morning at the building just outside of Colorado Springs. No one was hurt in the attack, and the explosives were said to be made in an unsophisticated way. The device was a gasoline can attached to a pipe bomb, which didn't fire off correctly, witnesses said.
Denver FBI Special-Agent-In-Charge Tom Ravenelle said the investigation into the incident was ongoing. A barber shop was connected to the office as well.
"I'm not going to be naive. I know what the NCAAP means to some extremists in this country," Ravanelle said. "We're not going to call it terrorism. We're not going to call it a hate crime. We're going to call it what it is, a bombing investigation."
The man is described as white and in his 40s. He left in an older white pickup truck with dark-colored bed interior, a missing or unseen license plate and an open tailgate, according to 9 News.
Witnesses also said the suspect was seen walking down a nearby alley holding an object just before the explosion occurred at 10:45 a.m. A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the man's arrest.
