A Mass offered for Puerto Rican victims of the June 12 mass shooting in an Orlando, Florida, nightclub was interrupted when local police entered the San Juan de Bautista Cathedral to investigate the possibility of a bomb inside.
Twice during the Mass on June 24, lay church personnel approached Archbishop Roberto Gonzalez Nieves of San Juan at the altar about what seemed to be a problem. The issue turned out to be a backpack left unsupervised on a side aisle, raising suspicion among some in the congregation.
