"bomb" scare at the Hayward Bart Station, July 7.

I got the call on the scanner about the streets being closed near where I was parked this passed Wednesday. It's funny how being a photojournalist some stories just come to your footsteps. I was actually half a block away when the call came. At the end, the bomb squad did blow something up. But, it sound it more like a firecracker than a "bomb".
