On Sunday, five said of the policemen who were at the scene when the motorhome exploded according to how they had experienced the incident. And the first on the scene was James Luellen, who was alerted to the scene following a gunshot alarm and was about to investigate a liquor store when he suddenly heard a message coming from a caravan on the street:
– The message was that there was a large bomb in the car and that it was time to start evacuating, Luellen said at a press conference.
– I contacted the station and asked them to send as many as they could.
Five minutes after the first voice was heard, the message changed to begin the countdown. Luellen himself tried to look inside the trailer, but all the windows were covered.
One of his colleagues could see several surveillance cameras mounted inside the motorhome:
– It felt like the person behind them was watching us, police James Wells tells WKRN.
At the same time, several of the police officers worked to evacuate residents from the houses along various secondary roads.

– The voice said that the important thing was to evacuate, evacuate now. A female voice, just strange, says Amanda Topping to the WTVF channel.
After several minutes he was interrupted. the message of the caravan. Instead, the voice was changed to music: the song “Downtown” by Petula Clark.
– What I remember is hearing the line of text “downtown where the lights are shining bright,” says police officer Tyler Luellen who worked to evacuate people from the street.
Meanwhile, Amanda Topping had started walking down Second Avenue toward her colleagues when she saw James Wells standing next to his patrol:
– I don’t know what made me start walking towards him. It was really strange, but I decided to change direction and cross to the other side of the street where I continued towards Wells. And then he starts walking towards me.
– When I was maybe ten steps away from him when I could see the biggest flames I’ve ever seen, the worst explosion.
While Amanda Topping was successful standing he could see his colleague fall, at the same time as she ran towards Wells.
– He grabbed me and I grabbed him and we took refuge in a door. And I was so worried that I had lost all my colleagues. I didn’t know where the others were … but then we got in contact by radio and luckily they were all alive.
James Wells was temporarily deaf by the loud detonation, but has since regained his hearing.
