The bomb with the tripwire....a neighbor said he and his wife walked by the spot at 7:45. The explosion happened at 8:32 (Naut Twilight time). It may be that they are placed shortly before they go off.
In fact....the perp might even be watching from a short distance. Watching?? That's just a thought.
Some info:
“Alyssa Goard observed FBI agents at the Brodie Lane FedEx measuring doors with a tape measure and covering some entrances with butcher paper inside the location.
A robbery detective told KXAN that method is used to determine height.”
“A source briefed on the investigation tells NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez police were about to blow up a suspected bomb at the FedEx facility near the Austin airport. The source says officials believe the suspected bomber mailed two packages from a FedEx drop-off center in Austin. One of them exploded at a Schertz, Texas, FedEx facility, while the other arrived at the McKinney Falls Parkway FedEx facility.”
For some reason, 1 package was sent to Austin FedEx facility and 1 to the Schertz Facility. Presumably both were being sent to Austin addresses. Don’t know FedEx’s procedures on which facility gets the packages. You’d think the Austin facility would get both packages. But maybe sent to different facilities based on destination address.
