Re: Bomb: SA FedEx bound for Austin

These bombings are the work of a sick person, who would do something like this? From what I've read, the best law enforcement ppl are in the area, I hope they find this person/persons soon. It must be horrible living in the area because there is little you can control, the sicko is spreading fear.

If they are using FedEx ,they might  be starting to get braver ,and  it could become more frequent.  I pray they can find them soon..I hope they have over played their hand, and were caught on CC  TV  cameras.

There seems to be no motive or targeted victims at this point....which makes this situation even more dangerous.  Several news agencies are revealing that the package contained nails and metal shrapnel, one said this was "unconfirmed".  Out of the 75 people who were working at FedEx...only one was injured and that was "non lifethreatening"....it could have been so much worse.  So disturbing for the residents of Austin.  Hopefully, the package will reveal some clue as to the disturbed perpetrator before more are injured.

From WFAA/Dallas:

 

An FBI agent told CBS the box was being mailed from Austin and was headed to Austin. The agent said that "it’s more than possible" that this package is related to the explosions that have occurred in Austin in recent days.

Odd detail:

Sent FROM Austin returning to Austin.

Schertz, TX was just the weigh station.

By using FedEx there is a paper trail. Not just a random package on a porch. It is hard to catch a random act of violence. Hope they are sucessful.

Scary scary for the Fedex people or anyone handling packages.I don’t want to think what could be sent out to harm someone in packages these days.

Re: Bomb: SA FedEx bound for Austin

SA Bomb professionals, FBI, and Austin professionals are keeping some info close to their vests which is important; they may be closer than we know.

 

My heart sunk when I first heard of the facility in Shertz; much closer to San Antonio than Austin.  At first I thought this psycho was moving down I-35 to change locations.

 

FedEx is at a standstill right now; and for the life of me I cannot figure out why Austin is being targeted other than the person lives there.

 

I fear with this latest tactic that packages are going to be sent out to other locations.

 

I don't fear many things in life; but honestly I'm scared.  This person is escalating; shorter times between incidents and using multiple delivery methods.

 

I pray and ask everyone to do so, no matter your methods, for the good people of Texas.

Re: Bomb: SA FedEx bound for Austin

Who was the package being sent to? That is something I find interesting and important.
