Incidents

On May 17, 2014, two bottle bombs, made by combining aluminum foil and acid in a plastic drink bottle, exploded in theaters 3 and 8, forcing the evacuation of all the patrons as well as the nearby food court.[1][2]

A week later, on May 25, 2014, a third bottle bomb exploded in theater 1, slightly injuring Falls Church teenager Kevin Tran and a friend.[3]

Both incidents, as well as three more similar explosions in area movie theaters dating back to March, were eventually traced to 20-year-old Manuel Joyner-Bell of Bowie, Maryland.[4]
