North Georgia man injured from truck bomb

A north Georgia man was airlifted to a Chattanooga-hospital after a bomb in his truck exploded. Whitfield County authorities think the incident is gang-related. Police say 27-year-old James Wayne Brock was getting into his truck to go to work at a carpet mill when the bomb went off. Authorities believe a rival motorcycle club planted the bomb in retaliation for the death of a gang member. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is helping in the probe.
