Las Vegas NowSentencing Set for Men in Henderson Bombing
Sentencing is set Nov. 23 for two men found guilty of detonating home-made chemical bombs at a Henderson clothing store last April.
Officials say 28-year-old John Morgan and 42-year-old Roger Jenkins could each face up to 70 years in prison after being found guilty Friday of 12 criminal charges.
Both men are from Henderson. They denied being in the Burlington Coat Factory at the time of the explosions. But authorities say Morgan placed the devices in the store and left in a vehicle driven by Jenkins.
Employees reported hearing popping sounds and an acrid smell coming from what police said was an ammonium-based chemical that expanded and caused containers to burst. Authorities say the devices weren't flammable.
