Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms have passed out two color pictures of one person who has yet to be identified and may be the person responsible for leaving an explosive device in the Concord store.

The two photos show a white man wearing a white shirt and blue jeans entering the store around 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 28. A Lowe’s employee found the device that evening. Federal officials later confirmed that the device found in the Concord store could have exploded and was structured similar to two other devices that detonated in the Salisbury and Asheboro stores.

Earl Woodham, public information officer for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, said Monday that federal investigators are not divulging any information about the case unless there is a significant break.

“We’re handling this just like any other case,” he said.

Woodham also said no one had brought to his attention that there were pictures of a possible suspect. If the investigators wanted to dispense the photos to the media they would go through him, he said.

This morning, however, Woodham said they are considering scheduling a press conference for Wednesday morning, but a final decision will not be made until Wednesday.

Brian Peace, director of public relations for Lowe’s, said this morning that he could not comment on the investigation. The bomb scares started Sept. 22 at 5:50 p.m. when an improvised explosive device detonated in the paint department of the Salisbury Lowe’s. Two minutes later, in the Asheboro Lowe’s, a similar device detonated in the paint department. The bombs injured three people. A customer at the Asheboro store received second- and third-degree burns.

Less than a week after the Salisbury-Asheboro incidents, an employee found a device in the Concord store. Agents evacuated the store and removed the bomb but would not say if the bomb was left in the paint department.

Investigators later linked all three incidents to the same person or group of people.

Reports surfaced that the Lowe’s bombings were connected to the fatal crash last spring at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Speedway officials confirmed they did receive a threatening call a little more than a week before the races were scheduled at the track.

The panic spread across the state. The Concord racetrack heightened security for the weekend event, and several stores evacuated after bomb scares.
