Charlotte-Mecklenburg police found dangerous quantities of triacetone triperoxide (TATP) inside the home of a 16-year-old continuation school student linked to explosions that injured four people Monday.
Mother Tracy Bauguess lives in the house with her two sons, 16-year-old Jesse Bauguess and a 15-year-old. Baugess has turned herself in to authories.
Police arrested Jesse and another student who attend alternative high school Turning Point Academy where a pen exploded Monday, injuring another student. Three firefighters were injured later that day, when searching the home.
