Incident Report // Comprehensive Forensic Dossier

The Bath School Disaster

An exhaustive operational reconstruction of the mechanical sabotage, homestead liquidation, and multi-stage explosives ambush executed by Andrew Philip Kehoe.

Kehoe was regarded as a brilliant but abrasive individual with specialized knowledge in electrical and mechanical engineering. Following a significant head injury in his youth, associates noted a marked increase in antisocial behavior and irritability.

Financial ruin and a personal vendetta against the Bath school tax levy drove his radicalization. He viewed the school as a symbol of his economic failure and orchestrated the event to destroy the institution he blamed for his situation.

Leveraging his role as a school maintenance worker, Kehoe gained covert access to the school over several months. He installed an intricate network of explosives in the structural crawlspaces of the school building.

He obtained explosives under the guise of agricultural use, bypassing safety logs. The system was rigged with a timer mechanism designed to trigger the detonation of the primary explosives, with a secondary plan involving a vehicle bomb.

**05:30 AM // Homestead:** Kehoe murdered his wife and rigged his farmstead with incendiary devices.

**08:30 AM // Farm Detonation:** Kehoe detonated explosives at his farm, drawing emergency responders away from the school.

**08:45 AM // School Blast:** A timer triggered the primary explosives, collapsing the school’s north wing.

**09:15 AM // Truck Ambush:** Kehoe detonated his truck bomb, killing himself and several others who had gathered at the scene.

Investigators discovered hundreds of pounds of unexploded ordinance in the south wing of the school. The force of the initial blast had fortunately severed the trigger wiring, preventing total school annihilation.
