The suspected serial bomber who killed two people and terrorized Austin, Texas, for three harrowing weeks was killed in a dramatic confrontation with police overnight Wednesday, authorities said.

The suspect, identified by police early Wednesday as a 24-year old male, was killed near the motel he was traced to by authorities using surveillance footage from a Federal Express drop-off store and cell phone triangulation technology, according to The Austin American-Statesman.

The man, whose name was not released, died after fleeing the motel in a car, with police hot on his tail. He drove into a ditch, sparking the fatal confrontation.

"We wanted this to come to a peaceful resolution tonight," said Austin Police Chief Brian Manley. "However, we were not afforded that opportunity when he started to drive away."

Police said the man detonated two package bombs as police closed in, firing at him. It was not immediately clear whether he died from the bombs or shots fired by police. One officer was knocked back by the blasts, but none were seriously hurt.

Any additional info/pics?

Or, have all of his social media accounts been scrubbed yet?

The FBI is photoshopping on the obligatory MAGA hat on the suspect.

All you need to do is buy on of these.

Fwiw, A generic search for his name brought up one of the “background check” sites. One listed an e-mail @crux semiconductor.

Crux does have a facility in Austin.

Take with a large dose of salt.

Next 24-48 hours should be interesting, and they will set the template for how much information we’ll receive. After the Vegas massacre, the shooter was identified as Stephen Paddock and then...almost nothing. Six months later, we’re still waiting for details on his motive, potential accomplices, even surveillance footage of Paddock carrying his arsenal into his hotel room. And don’t hold your breath waiting for more information; it seems clear that Paddock was part of a wider conspiracy that no one wants to reveal.

The Austin bomber has now been identified as 24-year-old Anthony Conditt. Let’s see how much we learn about him in the days to come.

Storming Heaven by Dale Brown had talked about it in 1995. A Tom Clancy book had a plane hitting a the SOTU speech.

Lots of stuff out there.

It was a short lived spinoff of the original series based on the three supporting tin foil characters, The Lone Gunmen. This was their pilot (NPI) episode that ended with this scene of a passenger jet being remotely controlled on a collision course with the WTC....it aired 6 months before the actual event.

Facebook and Google also falsifying a fake profile of this bomber as a Trump supporter.

I have no need for one, but I just bought two.

"The suspect is deceased with significant injuries," Manley said

Deceased AND has significant injuries? Is this a thing where you can be hurt AND dead?

[ExNewsExSpook]

That is one element that demands immediate answers. The bomber displayed a high degree of skill, suggesting someone with extensive training in explosives—EOD perhaps, or maybe a former combat engineer?

I’m almost reluctant to even post that; I worked with EOD techs at various points in the military career. To a person, they were bright, talented patriots who would never think about utilizing their training to terrorize and kill members of the general public. Also worth noting there is a mountain of material on bomb making on the interweb; if this guy began reviewing that material several years ago and made practice devices for detonation in wide open spaces, he might have acquired enough knowledge and skill to carry out his campaign without the benefit of military training.

Need any computer software people for that?

[Mr. K]

I suspect they saw him on video, with packages of the same type, then looked at cell phone records to see if they had a ping from a cell phone in that area at that time, and then triangulated one (or more) phones to see where it led them.

A motel near there is a good place to look.

[Gamecock]

Whoraldo mad a big deal out of him being white and Austin being a sanctuary city. Clearly the bomber was a racist who was against Austin’s policy.

[mplc51]

Picture of him on Drudge, don’t match with picture at Fed Ex. Look at his arms at Fed Ex vs Pic on Drudge.

This was their pilot (NPI) episode that ended with this scene of a passenger jet being remotely controlled on a collision course with the WTC....it aired 6 months before the actual event.

Perhaps it inspired the real event. I believe I recall reading that after the movie "Money train" showed a robber spraying a flammable liquid through the money exchange opening at a ticket booth, and then threatened to light the teller on fire, some real life @$$hole did exactly the same thing.

Maybe someone watched the show, and told Bin Laden about it? Now of course I don't know how long the planning went on for 911, but it seems to me that six months would probably have been enough.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Madison? That’s a shock!

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Listening to Glenn Beck program and (if I heard correctly) on the Fox news report they referred to the Austin bomber as an EX WHITE GUY!

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Funny how the persons color is important now?
