Kansas City girl killed after home hit by pipe bomb
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The father of an 11-year-old girl killed in an explosion early yesterday said he had no idea why his house was bombed.
A homemade pipe bomb exploded on the front porch of the Randall Green family's rented house, killing Green's daughter, Linda, police said. Harvey Comstock, a relative who lived with the family, was critically injured.
"I don't drink, I don't take drugs and we don't run in any wild circles," Green said. "We're a family-oriented family."
Green said his family had lived in the house only a short time and he speculated that the target of the attack have been a previous resident.
Linda Green died of chest wounds at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
