SEATTLE — A man wearing what appeared to be a pipe bomb was kicked out of a Seattle homeless shelter Friday morning after claiming to be a vampire, then wandered around before surrendering to police, authorities and witnesses said.
The contraption did not turn out to be a real explosive device, Seattle police said Friday afternoon, although it was treated like a bomb at the time because, as police spokesman Mark Jamieson said, it looked “real enough.”
The man, whose name was not released, complied with officers who rushed to the scene and voluntarily removed the suspicious device, Jamieson said.
