Investigators in Wyoming are trying to identify two men they believe left a homemade bomb in front of the state Capitol. The device was brought inside by a passerby Tuesday morning and caused the building’s evacuation for the rest of the day while police searched the premises. Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation Commander Ryan Cox says agents are looking closely at video security footage showing two men.
