FULL TITLE: SWAT team descends on Austin bomber's home and speak to shirtless man just hours after the homeschooled Christian blew himself up during police chase, ending 19-day campaign of terror

The 23-year-old who blew himself up as police tried to arrest him over a string of deadly Austin bombings has been described as a quiet, home-schooled young man.

Mark Anthony Conditt killed himself when he detonated a bomb inside his SUV as police surrounded him near a hotel on Interstate 35, just outside Austin, at about 2am on Wednesday.

Police closed in on the bomber after obtaining CCTV footage of him posting two packages at a FedEx office that intended to target people of color on Sunday night.

Authorities are warning that more bombs could still be out there because they do not know if the bomber posted more devices prior to his death.

Police started evacuating the area near where Conditt lived at about 1pm on Wednesday, fearing there could explosives there. They have since questioned his two housemates about their knowledge of the bombings.

The bomber had gone on a three week bombing spree stretching back to March 2. The series of bombings killed two people and injured at least five others. The most recent package bomb detonated at a FedEx distribution center near San Antonio early Tuesday.

Police still do not know the motive behind the attacks or whether the bomber had an accomplice, but did say he wasn't previously known to law enforcement.

Police believe Conditt, who previously worked as a computer repair technician and at a manufacturing company, made all the bombs himself.

Or, as Paul Harvey would say, now, the rest of the story.

I like that idea. Ask them to repeat it over and over so they wear themselves out and lose their voice! a twofer!

[Keyhopper]

I'm a shorts and flip-flop guy myself. In Florida its against the law to wear a shirt unless its snowing.👓

Stopped reading right there. Way to go, Guardian.

Same here.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

When was that last time they labled a killer as a product of the public educational system? Which would be EVERY murderer out there for the last hundred years or so.

people of color

I'm getting sick and tired of that phrase. We're all people of color.

[MHGinTN]

Oh really? You mean you never saw those translucent people of the nether race? Oh my ...

[kanawa]

Transluscent?

Hell, we’re transparent.

We’re here, we’re clear, get used to it!

[LYDIAONTARIO]

I got the feeling it may be a homosexual issue, too.

[MHGinTN]

Good one, Canuke.

No doubt packages and data on them are destroyed in the blast; but it seems to me that correlating the tracking data that showed which packages did NOT arrive at their destinations would have finally shown who the SENDER was.

Perhaps THIS is how LEOs were able to zero in on the suspect.

[Elsie]

... that intended to target people of color on Sunday night.

HMMMmmm...

Addressed to NAACP?

[Elsie]

FReepers notice the title, attacking homeschoolers and christians again!!

Still!

[Elsie]

... made all the bombs himself.

What else; since Bombs 'R' Us no longer ships finished products to your door.

[Elsie]

and attacking black people...don’t forget attacking the black people...

What?

I read people of COLOR!

[Elsie]

Shhhhhh!

They’ll begin to notice after a while!

[Elsie]

No.

Only folks who lay on the side of the liberal media's bias get the privilege of describe with alliterative words like alleged and accused.

NSA operative #35,847 to Local police investigating crimes near Wally_bert's home:

Re-look at the ones just a block away from his house.

He admits to being the likely culprit online at that FR site.

What a doofus!!

[Elsie]

It was the same thing Fox News was doing all morning when they continually pointed out he was white.

Which hardly EVER happens if the prep (suspect; that is) is known to be BLACK!

Uh, ALLEGED suspect...

Lots of men sleep that way...

And More!
