According to court documents, the device had been ignited, but did not operate as intended.

The device was found in Salt Lake City on Friday, two days after the murder of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, about 45 minutes south of the state capital.

KUTV reported that two suspects were arrested after FBI agents and local fire and bomb squads converged near a house in Magna, Utah.

According to court documents, additional explosive materials, weapons, illegal drugs, and other gear were also found in the house.

Photos and video from the scene showed anti-Trump posters near the house.

Fox 13 News Utah is owned by the Scripps company. Similar stations, such as Fox 13, are affiliated with the Fox network but do not directly belong to Fox News Channel, the leading cable news network.

The station confirmed news about its vehicle on Sunday evening and said:

“FOX 13 News works closely with law enforcement and our risk-management team; the safety of our employees is our top priority.”
