The 60-year-old homeless man believed to have set off an explosive device next to Santa Monica's Chabad House last week may have left town on a bus bound for New York, reports LA Now. The FBI believe that the suspect, Ron Hirsch, boarded a Greyhound bus on Thursday, however they also think he got off the bus, possibly in Denver, and "further deviated from his original route."

Hirsch is thought to be responsible for making a bomb composed of gunpowder and other materials the FBI traced to him; the device was left outside the Chabad House on Thursday. The FBI say Hirsch, who also goes by the name Israel Fisher, should be considered "extremely dangerous."
