PITTSBURGH — A suspicious device near the finish line of the Pittsburgh Marathon on Sunday prompted police to briefly stop the race after it had begun. The device was disabled, and police said it was not thought to have been an explosive.
The device, in a small microwave oven, was spotted Sunday morning next to a Greyhound bus station after the race leaders had finished the course, police Lt. Kevin Kraus said.
“After we witnessed what happened in New York City last night, we took (this) very seriously,” said Police Chief Nate Harper.
