A lawyer was rushed to hospital with serious injuries after an explosion at a law office at 252 River Ave. in Winnipeg Friday morning.
Police confirmed 35-year-old Maria Mitousis, a lawyer with the Petersen King law office, sustained injuries to her neck and stomach when an explosive device in a package detonated. Mitousis was taken to hospital in critical condition.
The law firm on St. Mary is the most recent office of Gorlick, who was just disbarred after admitting to 15 counts of professional misconduct.
One source who spoke to The Canadian Press on the condition of anonymity said the woman lost a hand and was in danger of losing the other one.
Police are unaware if the package was mailed or dropped off. "However it came into her possession, it was triggered inadvertently by the woman." said Const. Eric Hofley.

[B]Update:
[/B]They've found the man responsible and placed several charges on him already:

Inspector Kelly Dennison said Sunday night that investigators believe that Amsel allegedly targeted his ex-wife and lawyers who have represented both Amsel and his ex-wife.
"Police are concerned that other packages could have been sent out to other legal counsel or justice officials who have dealt with Amsel," Dennison said.
A police robot detonated a second explosive device Saturday evening at a Washington Avenue auto shop believed to belong to his ex-wife, and Sunday night, a bomb unit robot detonated a device in the parking lot of a Stradbrook Avenue law firm.
Police say a suspicious package was detonated inside the Washington business late Saturday by a bomb unit robot using a water cannon. There was extensive damage but no injuries.
The Free Press has learned that the suspect allegedly compiled a list of people he felt had wronged him in life.

Makes me wonder if the firm had some shady dealings or perhaps wasn't able to get one of their clients the verdict they were after.
Either way, I'm surprised the woman hadn't died since the bomb detonated in her hands as she opened it.[/QUOTE]
Doesn't have to be shady. The sheer amount of threats lawyers and legal offices routinely get is actually pretty high. Most tend to from, disgruntled opposite sides. Have a person that's a bit unhinged and you might get this...
yeah my brother lives near where this happened, luckily he's fine
I wonder if there was a specific target

Does your brother live inside the law firm?
[QUOTE=SIRIUS;48118828]I wonder if there was a specific target[/QUOTE]
Wouldn't be surprised if Barry Gorlick could have been the potential target.
[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;48116793]yeah my brother lives near where this happened, luckily he's fine[/QUOTE]
Who cares?
It was a mail bomb not a fucking nuke, he would have had to literally be in the same building, probably even just the same room, for there to be any concern for him.

Well he's most definitely dead then.
They found the man supposedly responsible. It seems he sent out [B]multiple bombs[/B], the other [B]2[/B] of which the police safely detonated. He also had a list of targets whom he felt wronged him in life.
I appended this new info to the OP.
what the fuck is with the bombs lately
Can you please give us sources that aren't behind a paywall

[url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/police-urge-caution-in-wake-of-winnipeg-bombs-even-after-man-arrested-1.3139622]And a CBC one[/url], apparently the guy was targeting his lawyer and ex-wife.

Talk about fucked in the head, just because you think life gave you a raw deal doesn't give you the right to hurt other people. But then at one point, if these individuals choose to do it, it's unlikely they care and just want to lash out at others/a society they feel has failed them in some way.
