According to a story in APBNews.com, this hideous event happened on Saturday November 25, 2000 in Portland, Oregon, USA.

   To me, the most socking sentence in the APBNews.com report is:

     John McMahon, the agent in charge of the Portland office of the federal
     Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, said that "tennis ball bombs"
     appear to be fairly common in the area.
