Man stored improvised explosive devices on apartment rooftops in SoHo: officials
NEW YORK CITY, JUL 23 – Michael Gann faces federal charges after allegedly making seven bombs using chemicals ordered online and placing them in crowded Manhattan areas, including subway tracks and rooftops.
- Michael Gann, a 55-year-old resident of Inwood, was taken into custody on June 5 in Manhattan after authorities discovered that he had created and deployed multiple homemade explosive devices throughout the city.
- Gann produced the IEDs using precursor chemicals he ordered online around May 30, and assembled them in Manhattan for use across the city.
- Investigators found five IEDs and chemicals on adjoining SoHo rooftops, at least one device on subway tracks at the Williamsburg Bridge, and a seventh on Gann’s person.
- Hours before his arrest, Gann shared a post on Instagram expressing a reckless intent to act without concern for consequences, and prosecutors found that he conducted online searches related to explosives and firearms during May and June.
- Gann has been federally charged for attempting to damage property using explosives and for illegally possessing destructive devices. He remains in custody awaiting trial and could receive a prison sentence of up to 40 years if found guilty.
