DALTON, Ga. - One of the victims of a bombing at a north Georgia law firm remained in critical condition Saturday with burns to one-third of his body.
Anne Cordeiro, a spokeswoman for the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, said attorney Jim Phillips was transported there from Dalton after an explosion rocked his law firm Friday.
Police say 78-year-old Lloyd Cantrell, angry over a family property dispute, set off a pipe bomb at the Dalton firm of McCamy, Phillips, Tuggle & Fordham. Cantrell died in the blast.
Two other victims were treated at a hospital and released, and one was admitted. The victim's condition was not known.
The explosion blew out windows and rocked buildings more than a block away. On Saturday, police finished collecting evidence at the law firm and turned the two-story, colonial-style house back over to company.
The phone at the law firm was busy most of the day.
Dalton is 26 miles southeast of Chattanooga, Tenn.
