An explosion leveled a home in Arlington, Virginia, as officers tried to serve a search warrant
A suspect is presumed dead after a house exploded as police in Arlington, Virginia, were attempting to execute a search warrant, authorities said at a news conference on Tuesday afternoon. Based on the preliminary investigation of the incident, we believe the resident of the home, James Yoo, 56, of Arlington, VA is the involved suspect. Human remains have been located at the scene which are presumed to be the suspect. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will work to positively identify the individual and determine cause and manner of death. Our investigation has now transferred into a recovery operation as we work to collect and process evidence. There is no ongoing threat to the community related to this incident and no outstanding suspects.
Police were not aware of anyone else inside the house, which was a duplex, but they could not rule out the possibility others had been inside, Savage said. Officials have not been able to go into the home and could not confirm whether there were any deaths. No serious injuries were suffered by police; the fate of the suspect who was inside the home when it exploded was not immediately clear, authorities said. Before Monday's blast, the home stood out because of the aluminum foil covering windows and because its resident made no efforts to meet neighbors, Mitchell said.

The blast occurred as police investigated someone shooting flares into a residential area near Ballston. "I would characterize these communications as primarily complaints about alleged frauds he believed were perpetrated against him," Sundberg told reporters. "The information contained therein and the nature of those communications did not lead to opening any FBI investigations." Assistant Fire Chief Jason Jenkins noted that the fire department turned off the gas line to the house before the explosion occurred.
Carla Rodriguez of South Arlington said she could hear the explosion more than 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) away and came to the scene but police kept onlookers blocks away. Ten other homes were affected by the explosion, Department of Public Safety Communications and Emergency Management Director Aaron Miller said Tuesday. The residents of those homes are being provided with housing, if needed, and other basic needs such as toiletries, Miller said. The suspect was inside the house at the time of the explosion, Savage said.

They also did not immediately release what specific accusation led them to the man’s house in the first place. Whether any deaths resulted from the explosion has also not been announced. "I was in the back of my house, and I had been hearing prior to this some sort of firecracker sorts of sounds, and then suddenly there's a loud boom, and my entire house is shaking," neighbor Ann-Elise Quinn said. “Come to the front door with your hands up,” someone can be heard saying in the video. Police and fire officials could not immediately say what caused the explosion.

"Over the years he lived there, I might have seen him three or four times, and [he] always had a backpack," she said. He put foil over the windows, blocked everything and never came out of the house," she told NBC News, estimating the man had lived there for at least five years. "Because his house is usually very neat and clean, always perfectly mowed, and not even a leaf on the ground in fall, and suddenly there was trash everywhere, clothes, things on his roof," Johnston said. "And it was just very unusual. And before we even got the chance to make a welfare check call, there were flares going up and the police were already there." The cause of the explosion is still unknown and under investigation.

Three officers reported minor injuries in the house explosion, but no one was taken to the hospital. Savage said police did not have any evidence that others were in the duplex but could not rule out the possibility. The person inside did not respond, and officers were trying to execute the search warrant when "the suspect discharged several rounds, from what is believed to be a firearm, inside the home," police added. A massive explosion engulfed a home and rocked a neighborhood in Arlington, Virginia, as police were investigating a man who fired a flare gun dozens of times from inside Monday night, police said.
Human remains have been found, and the medical examiner's office is currently working on identification, Penn said. The FBI in Washington was assisting in the investigation, a spokesperson for the agency's field office there said. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also said it had fire investigators at the scene ready to assist. While the cause of the explosion is still under investigation, the blast appears to have permanently shaken some neighbors. "The suspect was inside the residence at the time of the explosion, and he is presumed, at this point, to be deceased. Human remains have been located at the scene." The officers escaped serious injury but it was unclear what happened to the suspect who was inside when the building was leveled, an Arlington county police spokesperson, Ashley Savage, said.
