Saskatoon police urge public vigilance after explosion outside courthouse
Saskatoon police say they aren’t ruling out anything as the investigation continues into an explosion outside the provincial courthouse Wednesday night.
Officials said an improvised explosive device went off at the entrance of Kilborn Place, on the corner of 19th Street and 3rd Avenue South, just after 11 p.m. No one was injured.
Scott Dempster was driving in the area with friends when he felt the blast from his vehicle.
He told 650 CKOM they noticed a large fire in the building’s entry just before 11 p.m. and stopped to call 911.
“There was eight-foot flames kind of going up into the roof,” Dempster recalled.
