PUYALLUP, Wash., April 15 (UPI) -- An agitated Washington man allegedly making homemade bombs blew himself up Tuesday, authorities said.
The unidentified man blasted the roof off his Puyallup, Wash., home, causing the house to burn to the ground, KOMO-TV in Seattle reported.
Pierce County Sheriff spokesman Ed Troyer said a couple called 911 after finding their 26-year-old roommate angry and handling explosives.
The station reported that when police arrived the man ran upstairs with a duffel bag full of explosives. Troyer said the man began playing music loudly and deputies backed away from the house.
Moments later the top floor of the house exploded, Troyer said.
"He either accidentally or intentionally set the explosion off, which took the whole top floor off of the residence and engulfed the house in flames," Troyer said.
Police were investigating what led to the incident.
