According to the City of Durango, the local police department cordoned off a small area of downtown after a suspected pipe bomb was reportedly found in an alley behind Carver's restaurant. While "Carver's" was the establishment noted in the press release on the matter, this is presumably a reference to Carver Brewing Company at 1022 Main Avenue.
The announcement of the situation was made at 11:12 a.m., with authorities noting that an initial analysis pointed to the device being fake at that time. However, as the item resembled a pipe bomb, a bomb technician from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the bomb squad from the Farmington Police Department were called to the scene.
As of 11:56 a.m., the investigation into the situation was ongoing.
Durango is a city located in southwest Colorado with a population of about 19,000 residents. It's a well-known access point for the San Juan mountain region, also home to Purgatory Resort and the popular Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
