The Oklahoma City Bombing on April 19, 1995, took the lives of 168 people, including 19 children, and injured hundreds more. The FBI calls it “the worst act of homegrown terrorism in the nation’s history.” In the wake of the bombing, investigators conducted over 28,000 interviews, collected more than 3 tons of physical evidence, and followed more than 43,000 leads. Ahead of the attack’s 30th anniversary, WATM spoke with retired FBI Special Agent Bob Ricks, who served as the Special Agent in Charge of the Oklahoma City Field Office at the time of the bombing.
