Phantom Fireworks in Seabrook, N.H., is the store where Boston Marathon bombers purchased fireworks explosives.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was all smiles in 2010, but by 2013, he was plotting the Boston Marathon bombing, buying more than three pounds of explosive powder at Phantom Fireworks.
(Phantom Fireworks' owner) Weimer searched his company’s sales records last week and discovered Tsarnaev, 26, came into his Phantom Fireworks on Feb. 6 and was helped by a female store clerk.
“Like most 99% of the men who come in, he asked ‘What’s the biggest and loudest thing you have,’” Weimer said.
The clerk directed him to a $199.99 “Lock and Load” kit, which contains four launch tubes and 24 black-powder-packed shells. The kits are advertised by the company as “barely legal.”
