IRVING, TX– The police in Irving, Tex., have cleared a Texas teen after an investigation showed that the teen’s homemade device was not a bomb.

Irving, Tex. Police Chief Larry Boyd told reporters next day that no charges would be brought against Mohamed for bringing a “suspicious device” to school.
