Bombing suspects plead not guilty
- Share via
A father and son accused of killing two law enforcement officers in a bank bombing pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of aggravated murder.
Bruce Turnidge, 57, and his 32-year-old son, Joshua, could face the death penalty if convicted. A grand jury indictment alleges that the bomb that exploded Dec. 12 was part of a bank robbery attempt, but it does not say how the men allegedly intended to get the money.
Authorities had not previously specified a motive for the bombing in Woodburn, about 30 miles south of Portland.
A third law officer was critically wounded.
