Nevada Governor To Tour Bomb Site Where Man Killed Himself

PANACA, Nev. (AP) — Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval is cutting a business trip short so he can tour the site of an explosion where authorities say a man killed himself.

Sandoval is scheduled to join Lincoln County Sheriff Kerry Lee for a briefing and tour Friday in Panaca, a town of about 900 people.

Authorities say a man killed himself when he detonated an explosive in a car and inside a home Wednesday night. A woman and two girls escaped the house before the bombs went off.

Lee said investigators believe they know who the bomber was and that he knew the family, although they haven't released the suspect's identity or his relationship to the family.

Sandoval is coming back early from the National Governor's Association conference in Iowa.
