Before the blast in Arlington, Virginia, police said someone from inside the house had fired shots as officers tried to enter.

Police said earlier they had responded to reports of someone firing a flare gun from a residence on Monday night.

Officers on the scene reported only minor injuries.

But it is not clear if the suspect was injured or apprehended.

Some residents in the surrounding area said on social media they felt their homes shake.

    “I think it blew up the entire duplex,” one neighbor told ARLnow in the immediate aftermath. “I’m sure the family next door was evacuated before it blew up but they lost their home.”

    A man named James Yoo, listed in public records as the resident of the address to which police were initially dispatched, has been repeatedly posting paranoid screeds on his Linkedin account. One post from three days ago rants against his neighbors in the adjoining duplex unit.

      This is how the ‘Ruling Class’ stays anonymous using buffers and handlers to absorb ‘digital ID’.

      So for every citizen they have multiple people assigned to spy on them?

      Exponentially this idea just can’t work.

        Can confirm. I rarely ever see my neighbors, so I’m certain they are spying on me.
