The improvised explosive device was in a bag inside the cab of the truck when it accidentally went off, Winnipeg Police Service spokesperson Const. Rob Carver said Tuesday.

"The four victims who were injured were not intended victims," he said.

Carver said he was unable to provide specific answers because of the continuing investigation. He noted, however, the bag was brought to a 7–Eleven parking lot at Gallagher and Keewatin Street by someone not connected to the four people who were in the truck.

That person left the bag to go inside the store. It was then picked up by someone from the truck, he said.
