Another Explosion in Austin: In an explosion in a store in Austin, a person was injured tonight (local time). A fire-prone device caused the explosion. And not by a bomb package, the authorities emphasize.
Explosive packages have plagued the capital of Texas since the beginning of the month. There were already five mysterious explosions.
On March 2, a 39-year-old man died when a package exploded in front of his door. Then followed four new explosions that killed a person and caused five people to be wounded.
This incident does not seem to be connected to Package Bomb Murders:
BREAKING: ATF responded to a reported incident in the 9800 block of Brodie Lane, Austin. It was not a package bomb. An incendiary device was located, one injured. At this time, it does not appear to be related to the #packagebombmurders. pic.twitter.com/bEuskJm0Ii
