we are along the 3100 block of normandy avenue in fredericksburg. what it looks like over here through the details of what we believe took place here. this is the home that was fire bombed the living room area had an incendiary device or a pipe bomb as police are saying thrown through it. no one was hurt but again this happened at about 4:00 a.m. shortly after two more in nearby stafford county, police and investigators still on the scene of this one. now, the details of this are very strange. and we've been talking to neighbors as well as police officials and you know everyone's sort of giving a little bit of information but we still don't know the big picture. police are being tight-lipped about it. but here's the common denominator in all of the attacks, this house used to be the home of a stafford county deputy. we're being told by neighbors that a stafford county deputy lived here a year and a half ago. in stafford county at least one of the two tea hacks also -- attacks also involves a current stafford county deputy. now what the exact connect

on the 3100 block of normandy avenue in fredericksburg. that used to be the home of a stafford sheriff's deputy. he hadn't lived there in more than a year but the woman there wasn't hurt as a result of the blast. that was the first of the three attacks. shortly after it moves into stafford county where the second attack takes place at home in the kings grant subdivision. it's believed that's where the detective lived. then after that, the third pipe bomb attack, this time at a louse in the country ridge -- house in the country ridge subdivision where we believe stewart's ex-girlfriend lived. no one was hurt in any of the attacks. stemming from two cases earlier this year where he was charged for indecent exposure and the second a domestic violence case involving the third victim in the attacks his own ex- girlfriend. ken molestina, 9news now. >>> plenty of scary things will be out for hall mean but -- tonight for halloween but hopefully none of them include you behind the wheel of a car. >> take advantage of the washington regional alcohol

when tragedy struck the corner of florence and normandy, most of the ministers here know that those riotsdidn't erupt overnight. there had been a quiet riot, building up in los angeles and across this country for years. these quiet riots that take place every day are born from the same place as the fire of destruction and the police decked out in riot gear. they happen when a sense of disconnect settles in and hope dissipates. despair takes hold in young people all across the country, look at the way the world is and they believe that things are never going to get better. you tell yourself, my school will always be second rate. you tell yourself, there will never be a good job waiting forny excel at. you tell yourself, i will never be able to afford a place that i can be proud of and call my home. that despair quietly simmers and makes it impossible to build strong communities and neighborhoods. and then one afternoon, a jury says not guilty. or a hurricane hits new orleans. and that despair is revealed for the world to see. >> sean: now, let's go back and look side by side. remember, it
