TEXAS ON EDGE: Fifth Device EXPLODES at FedEx Facility in San Antonio

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.20.18

An unidentified device detonated at a FedEx distribution facility in Texas just after midnight Tuesday morning; injuring one worker and raising fears the bomb could be related to a series of explosions that rocked Austin this month.

According to Fox News, local police confirmed a “medium-sized” box exploded on a conveyer belt at the delivery giant’s San Antonio ground sorting complex; adding a woman was being treated for a “sound injury.”

“We are working closely with law enforcement in their investigation,” said a statement from FedEx. “We are not providing any additional specific information about this package at this time.”

The FBI and ATF are investigating the latest blast as connected to four other explosions that shook the Texas capital in as many weeks; killing two people and injuring at least three more in a string of seemingly random blasts.

Police and the governor’s office reached out to the bomber Monday, urging the suspect to contact law enforcement before anyone else is injured; simultaneously raising the reward for any information on the culprit to $115,000.

AUSTIN ON EDGE: ‘Trip Wire’ Explosion ROCKS TEXAS, 2 Injured

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.19.18

A fourth explosion rocked Austin, Texas Sunday evening; injuring two bicyclists as local and federal authorities scramble to find the culprit behind the seemingly random attacks before the attacker can strike again.

According to Fox News, the blast was possibly caused when the bicyclists triggered a ‘trip wire,’ signaling the suspect has a more “advanced” knowledge of bomb-making than previously thought and may be preparing to ratchet up the sophistication of their attacks.

“If this explosion was the result of a bomb using trip wire technology, that is showing a different level of skill above that we were already concerned that this suspect or suspects may possess,” said Austin Police Chief Brian Manley.

“That changes things, in that our safety message to this point has been involving the handling of packages and telling communities ‘do not handle packages, do not pick up packages, do not disturb packages,’” he added.

“Two men in their 20s suffered non-life threatening injuries in the blast, including one who had nails in his leg,” writes Fox.

If confirmed by the FBI and ATF, this would be the fourth explosion to rock the Texan capital in as many weeks.

SERIAL BOMBER? Third Explosion in TWO WEEKS Rocks Austin, Leaves Teenager Dead

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.12.18

Local law enforcement and federal agents from the ATF and FBI are on the scene in Austin, Texas after a third explosion in two weeks left a teenager dead and one woman seriously injured Monday; raising fears the “random” attacks may be the work of a serial bomber.

“Austin Police said they received a call about the first explosion in a neighborhood on the northeast side of the city around 6:45 a.m., after the 17-year-old resident found a package on the front step, brought it inside, and opened it in the kitchen where it exploded,” writes Fox News.

“There are similarities that we cannot rule out that these two items are, in fact, related,” said Austin Police Chief Brian Manley.

The Austin-Travis County Emergency Services twitter account posted information of the attack on social media earlier Monday, saying “Multiple #ATCEMS @Austin_Police @AustinFireInfo onscene of a reported explosion at 4800 block of Oldfort Hill Dr (06:44); 2 pts identified thus far with Medics obtaining DOS pronouncement of late teens Male & ~40’s F txpt’d to DSMC w/serious potentially life threat inj’s.
