Police say a second Molotov cocktail was discovered following an attack against anti-abortion group Wisconsin Family Action's headquarters in Madison early Sunday morning.
Authorities are still working to determine whether the second device, found inside the building, was the cause of the fire and do not have any suspects in custody at this time, Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said during a press conference Monday. No injuries have been reported in connection to the incident.
Madison police collected evidence from the scene and turned it over to federal investigators in hopes of determining what accelerant was used in the Molotov cocktails. Officials previously announced they found the remnants of at least one Molotov cocktail that did not ignite. Barnes did not elaborate on whether the second Molotov cocktail ignited.
On Sunday, Madison police and firefighters arrived at the headquarters of Wisconsin Family Action, an advocacy and lobbying group that opposes abortion and promotes abstinence. The fire was extinguished within five minutes of firefighters arriving on the scene, and authorities began an arson investigation.The words"If abortions aren't safe then you aren't either" were discovered painted on the side of the building Sunday. A window of the building had also been broken.
