Driveby and OT, but What the fuck?
Law enforcement investigating man injured making pipe bombs

Following a pipe bomb explosion Monday night, police and federal law enforcement officials are trying to figure why a Center Avenue man turned his apartment into a bomb factory.

Police said no charges have been filed against Mark Campano, 56. Police found 30 completed pipe bombs in his apartment along with components to make more, plus 17 guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

Campano is in an Akron hospital with injuries received when one of the bombs exploded.

As police and federal authorities puzzle over Campano’s past and what he planned to do with the bombs, a former neighbor said Campano often railed against the government.

Barbara Vachon lived next door to Campano at the Center Park Place Apartments for several years and said he was a big reason she moved.

“He was always trying to get me and another neighbor to listen to anti-government tapes and watch anti-government videos,” said Vachon. “I would never watch them. He was some kind of radical, and he didn’t believe in the government.”
