Original story:

Federal investigators are looking for Ryan Kelly Chamberlain, 42, following the discovery of explosives in his San Francisco apartment.

FBI agent Peter Lee told reporters Sunday earlier reports Chamberlain also had ricin were untrue, KTVU, San Francisco, said.

More than two dozen FBI agents, police, fire department and hazardous materials crews raided Chamberlain's apartment Saturday.

Lee said he was unaware of any threats made by Chamberlain but he should be considered armed and dangerous. Lee, however, declined to say what materials were found in the apartment, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

"He did possess explosives at his residence," Lee said.

Randy Bramblett, 32, a friend of Chamberlain's, told the Chronicle Chamberlain lost his job at the sports marketing firm Project Sport in November. Bramblett said since then, Chamberlain's behavior had gotten strange.

The University of San Francisco confirmed Chamberlain has been an instructor at the school. He also worked as an independent contractor during the 2012 NFL season, tweeting and posting Facebook links to the newspaper's coverage.
