My next question just answered if we have heard anything on the 2nd roommate. It is an ongoing investigation. I notice it says "because they are not under arrest at this time" Could mean they lawyered up. Could mean they are innocent of anything to do with.

Hmmm ^^could be why the wording of APD tweet tonight Did they lawyer up? 4pm and MAC dropped the 2 packages off at delivery store little after 7pm.
Hours before a dramatic confrontation between Austin bomber Mark Conditt and police, two paramedics for the Pflugerville Fire Department may have inadvertently tipped off Conditt that law enforcement was closing in on him.
The two-person crew was intended to be nearby as authorities conducted surveillance and prepared to serve a search warrant at Conditt’s Pflugerville home, in case any officers were injured.
Instead, they knocked on the door and talked to one of Conditt’s roommates at the same time a small army of police officers and federal agents was getting ready for the raid. Police suspect the roommate may have told Conditt about what happened, potentially giving him a hint that investigators would be arriving soon
low-priority medical call and that when they arrived, they asked a man who answered the door if anyone called for an ambulance.
“The person at the door said, ‘No, we did not,’ and he hollered back into the house and another man shouted, ‘I didn’t either.’ So they turned around and left.”
The incident happened around 4 p.m. Tuesday, about nine hours before police say Conditt killed himself with an explosive along Interstate 35.
Ernesto Rodriguez, chief of the Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services, said dispatchers received a “request assistance” from law enforcement in which they are asked to be on standby for a potentially volatile situation.
“They just wanted an ambulance on standby,” Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez said the request included “staging instructions” that were sent from dispatchers to Pflugerville via text from a mobile data computer.
Officials said the crew responded quickly — their fire station is near the house — and did not receive those orders before knocking.
A dispatch recording obtained by the American-Statesman and KVUE-TV shows that a dispatcher was concerned about what was taking place.
“You need to stage at your fire station,” the dispatcher said. “Do not make scene.”
Medics radioed back that they had already cleared the scene and that no medical response was necessary.
“Upon arrival, homeowner advised no one at the residence had contacted 911 and EMS was not needed,” the medics later wrote in a report.
