A suspect has been arrested for allegedly throwing a pipe bomb that damaged The Satanic Temple headquarters in Salem, Massachusetts. The incident occurred on April 8, where a letter addressed to 'Dear Satanist' was found at the scene. The suspect, identified as Sean Patrick Palmer, 49, of Perkins, Oklahoma, was charged with using fire or an explosive to damage a building used in interstate or foreign commerce.
Surveillance cameras captured the suspect igniting and throwing a pipe bomb over a fence onto the covered porch of The Satanic Temple building at approximately 4:14 a.m. The explosive partially detonated, causing minor fire damage to the exterior of the building. Fortunately, no one was inside the building at the time of the incident.
