Retiree was the victim of mail bomb blast in British Columbia: neighbour
PORT ALICE, B.C. — A retired pulp mill worker has been identified as the victim of a mail bomb attack in the tiny village of Port Alice on Vancouver Island.
The Mounties say they are investigating a targeted blast that went off when the victim opened a mail package at a home on Tuesday.
Shannon MacGregor said her neighbour Roger Nepper was injured in the blast and she drove him to the local clinic for treatment.
MacGregor said she was out grocery shopping and when she returned home, she saw smoke coming from Nepper’s house. Moments later Nepper appeared at the front door step with his right arm pressed against his chest.
