Two improvised explosive devices detonated at a mall in central Florida on Sunday, authorities said.
Police are still searching for a person of interest who was seen running from the building.
No one was injured by the blasts around 5:30 p.m. at the Eagle Ridge Mall in Lake Wales, Florida, about 30 minutes east of Tampa, NBC News reported.
The devices appeared to resemble pipe bombs; they were made of PVC piping that was wrapped in electrical tape. The explosions occurred in a service corridor near a JCPenney store, and the mall was evacuated as a safety precaution. K9 units searched the mall on Sunday evening and the FBI was notified.

People who plant bombs are generally pretty dumb but fortunatly this guy doesn't even understand the point of planting a bomb.

The only place with less people would have been a Rays game.

Using PVC sounds stupid as well. Isn't the point of a pipe bomb to have shrapnel do most of the damage? What would PVC do in this case?
