An early morning high-speed chase Saturday from Bell County to Travis County led to the discovery of a number of explosive devices, ammunition, a large rifle and a handgun in the car of a Morgan's Point man.
At about 1:45 a.m., Morgan's Point Police came across a suspicious vehicle near the fuel tanks at the Morgan's Point Marina. A man inside the red late-model Ford Mustang was ducking down and officers say he was reaching under the seat. As a safety procedure, officers started to back away from the vehicle before the driver took off in the car.
A chase ensued through neighborhoods in Temple, through State Highway 317 into Belton, then onto Southbound I-35 through Williamson County and Travis County. Belton Police, State Troopers and Williamson County and Travis County deputies all assisted in the chase. The chase finally ended south of Austin when the suspect crashed his vehicle. When officers approached the man, the suspect shot himself in the face, police said. He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for surgery.
The Austin Bomb Squad was called to the scene after explosives, ammunition and weapons were found in the vehicle. Officials dismantled the devices. Fort Hood’s Explosive Ordinance Detachment Team was dispatched to the man’s residence at 16 Hawthorne Court in Morgan's Point at about 6:15 a.m.

This evidently isn’t the Morgans Point close to Laporte.
I wonder what his name is?
