An improvised explosive device went off at the California courthouse where Michael Jackson was acquitted in 2005, causing two non-life-threatening injuries. Residents in Santa Maria were advised to avoid the area as it was deemed unsafe. A man was taken into custody shortly after the incident, which was determined to be an intentional act. Deputies focused on a parked car linked to the man in custody. Jackson, who passed away in 2009, had been accused of sexually abusing a child at his Neverland Ranch. The trial took place in Santa Maria, where he was found not guilty on all charges. This incident is still under investigation and more updates are expected to follow.
