The three previous bombings this month, over an 11-day period, killed two people and injured two others.
Those three bombs were left as packages on doorsteps, while Manley said Sunday's device was different: It was placed on the side of the road. The victims were injured either while riding their bikes, or pushing them, Manley said.
"It is very possible that this device was activated by someone handling or triggering a tripwire," Manley said, adding that the mechanism used to set off the explosion remained "unconfirmed."

I fit a lot of that description.
It was thought yesterday that the bomb went off in a house, and the the two twenty year olds may have been the bomb makers. It looks like that is no longer the case?
“Oh wait, I just described 55% of America...”
No you did not.
Your number is way off.
I'm not thinking trip wire as much as half on/half off the gutter/curb. That would suggest a van or car with a side door to move the bomb outside the vehicle and scoot away.
But I have to go back and see if I have any of this story right.
Was it a fully-automatic, military-style, assault tripwire?
Follow the money.
There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. ― Booker T. Washington
My guess, he's black, Muslim in his early 20s, lives in the area, WAS a member of the local mosque until recently. He does have a job. Owns a van type vehicle with a side exit where he could get out of the vehicle and walk to the doorstep, blocking the view from across the street.
In fact, I'm looking at the possibility of a team of two.....just like the DC sniper.
And why not? Austin IS a Sanctuary Sh*thole that is under control of Liberals. These bombings are the work of the Mexican Drug Cartels. Put that in the bank and draw interest on it.
"...Mexican Drug Cartels..."
Who are the targets, or is it random?
Try thinning out the competition. You know, turf war.
I think police are now warning people to avoid ANYTHING - not just packages - that they find in their yard, that they did not put there themselves.
They are making a big issue of this tripwire thing.
Just Heard an ATF guy yammering about the sophistication of using a tripwire.
Umm any bozo can buy sophisticated switches.. for a million mundane purposes.
The way I see it is we have one lone wolf nut out there, possibly ex military, and he just shifted his MO.
Most of the reporting will probably be an effort to foul him up on what the Authorities know.
Be cautious Austin, you have a nut on the loose
Weren’t some of these people connected as belonging to a group trying to clean up crime in Austin. Cartel messaging might well be the case. They can use multiple operatives to make apprehension more difficult.
"Dog owners hit hardest..."
LOL!
News just reported a “possible serial bomber” Gee... ya think?
Different bomber?
Or the same bomber with military experience.
