Police in Austin say "similarities" between two deadly package explosions in Texas' capital city this month lead them to believe the incidents are related. The latest incident, reported Monday morning, killed a 17-year-old boy and wounded a woman, Austin police chief Brian Manley said.

The boy died at the scene and the woman in her 40s was taken to the hospital with potentially life threatening injuries after the explosion at the East Austin home before 7 a.m. In an earlier incident March 2, Anthony Stephan House, 39, was killed when a package exploded at his northeast Austin home, CBS affiliate KEYE reports.

Police also responded around 11:50 a.m. Monday to the report of an explosion in southeast Austin in which a woman was badly injured, according to police and the Associated Press, but more information wasn't immediately available and it wasn't clear whether it was related to the two package explosions...

I remember the episode on Forensic Files.

There just happened to be a guy and his son on the elevator with him when he was delivering the bomb to the office of the original intended target.

They remembered the high school jacket with no insignia.

(obviously you already know the details - but for my comment in the thread)

Typically the East side of I-35 is the ghetto part of town. Not that that has any importance.

Yes, the MO is not really jihadi. Probably a left-wing loon. We’ll see.

Recall that Nanny Bloomberg tried blaming the van filled with explosives in Times Square on a “middle aged overweight white man upset over Obamacare”).

The Left points fingers and accusations out of the gate. Gets their hits in and sell a lie. Recall the “Orlando was a hate crime” meme. Rainbow city halls and white house. When Christians at a Christmas party were gunned down it was just routine workplace violence.

Both cases were KNOWN WOLVES who’d been reported to the authorities who concluded that any radical outbursts were a response to hate speech the killers had heard.

Victims we’re black. Then I guess my comment about the ghetto does have something to do with it.

As long as the Gov’s Mansion and the Capital and Barton Springs and Antone’s and that statue of SRV are spared, then ok, level the place.

East side has been re-gentrified for over a decade.

For a few blocks off the freeway...maybe. They’ve been trying to clean up the East Side since they named a street after Caesar Chavez.

I guarantee this will be a KNOWN WOLF. But first let’s blame Caucasian males.

They turned a screenplay writing competition into a film festival. I don’t believe one winning screenplay was ever made into a movie. And I can’t think of one musical act that ever hit big either.

Maxine is now claiming that Stormy Monday will force him from office if Muelhead doesn’t.

She’s high as a kite.

These bombing were similar, compared to all the other bombings in Austin, during the last few days?

Are we talking Dresden in 1945 common, or Saigon in 1968 common? I'm confused...

Who's writing, vetting and making these announcements? The Marx Bros?

Hanson made it big. They weren’t an official act, someone saw them performing on a sidewalk, signed them up, and struck gold.
