Far more questions than answers after pizza-delivery man’s death by bomb around his neck

Talk about a strange story. Pizza-delivery man with a bomb attached to a collar around his neck robs a bank in Erie, PA. He claims someone forced him to put on the bomb and then rob the bank. Cops handcuff him and place him a bit apart from other people, cars, etc., while they wait for the bomb squad, but the bomb goes off and kills him before the squad arrives.

Then a coworker of this guy is found dead as well.

And now, the latest development:

CNN.com: FBI: Pizza man had another weapon
"It's not what people traditionally think of as a gun."

(CNN)—The pizza deliveryman who was killed by a bomb clamped around his neck after robbing a bank in Erie, Pennsylvania, had another "unique" weapon in his vehicle, the FBI's lead investigator said Wednesday.

Special Agent Ken McCabe would not provide details about the weapon, but said, "It was a little bit unique, and we may release that information also for the public to see what he was carrying," McCabe told CNN's "American Morning." "And maybe that may help with this investigation."

Police said Brian Douglas Wells, 46, robbed a bank Thursday while wearing the bomb locked to his neck by a homemade metal collar. After the robbery, Pennsylvania State Police stopped Wells, handcuffed him and sat him down on the ground, safely away from others. Police then called a bomb squad, but the device exploded before bomb technicians arrived, killing Wells.

Before the blast, Wells had told police he had been forced to rob the bank, and asked police to help him remove the bomb.
