On Friday, July 18, at 12:49 AM, a masked individual set off an explosive—possibly a large firework or incendiary device—inside my trash can outside my home.

The explosion and ensuing fire destroyed the can, damaged our driveway, and burned my lawn. My family is safe, but shaken. I’m declining at this time to speculate on a possible motive publicly, but let me be very clear: this was a targeted explosion and fire at my home. This was arson. 

I’ve shared a lot of video and audio of the targeted explosion outside my home, because I want to ensure the person (s) who are responsible for this criminal act are caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

However, one of my friends suggested that I share a video of what my family saw outside our home after the suspect left. Below is one minute of raw video of the fire outside our house.

This is why I haven’t slept. This is why I am furious.
