Explosion at California Courthouse Injures Five, Suspect in Custody

The suspect, who was set to be arraigned on a gun charge, allegedly intended to kill deputies and a judge.

The explosion occurred Wednesday morning at the Santa Maria Courthouse, injuring five people with non-life-threatening injuries.
Nathaniel James McGuire, 20, was arrested shortly after the incident while trying to flee the scene.
McGuire, who was wearing body armor, is charged with attempted murder and using an explosive device.
Authorities found a cache of weapons and additional explosive materials in McGuire's car and home.
Officials believe the attack was motivated by McGuire's previous arrest for illegal gun possession.
