“He has lived in this community for quite a long time and has had contact with health care within the community during that time.”

John Holler with Wright County said that there were no bombs or explosives detonated, despite several rumors early on of explosive devices found in or around the clinic. After suspicious packages were found there, a Super 8 motel nearby was also evacuated.
