Description
This
photograph
,
which
measures
7.14
"
x

"
(18
x
23
cm)
,
shows
the
Shaker
Heights
Police
Station
after
it
was
bombed
on
February
1
,
1970
.
Martin
Berns
, a
21-year-old
Shaker
Heights
resident
,
detonated
a
box
of
nitroglycerin
in the
police
station
,
demolishing
the
12-year-old
building
,
injuring
15
, and
killing
himself
.
Berns
,
who
had been a
patient
at the
Cleveland
State
Mental
Hospital
five
years
previously
,
shot
the
doctor
who
had him
committed
minutes
before
bringing
the
explosives
to the
police
station
. There was also
evidence
that
Berns
planned
to
bomb
Shaker
Heights
High
School
.
Police
suspected
that
Berns
'
motive
in the
shooting
and
bombing
was
revenge
for
sending
him into the
hospital
(Shaker
Heights
police
had
served
him with
papers
that
led
to his
commitment)
and
revenge
on the
high
school
,
which
he
attended
for a
year
before
dropping
out
.
Shaker
Police
were
quick
to
stop
rumors
that the
bombing
was
related
to the
Vietnam
War
. A
new
$2.25
million
police
station
and
courthouse
was
built
across
the
street
and
dedicated
in
1973
. The
modern
building
, by
architect
Marion
J
.
Varner
, was
designed
to
withstand
a
bomb
blast
.
