Package exploded at Goodwill next to Brodie lane

? Not finding this report. Only two packages were sent from FedEx on Brodie Lane, one delivered to Schertz FedEx office then exploded injuring one worker, another pkg has been found.

I wish we knew the addresses for which they were intended. I'd like to see if he is circling NW now. People are on alert now, so seeing someone in a neighborhood, and getting a package out of the blue, would send up folks' antennas. Is he thinking that by possibly switching up to mailing, and possibly using a sender's name, that the recipient would know, he could bypass the recipient being wary of picking up the box, when delivered by a FedEx employee. Spit-balling again.

I am glad in a way we don't know the names. Lots of reasons mostly Media.

Setting another bomb on the same street as the FedEx they were searching and looking for evidence at all day is a big "FU" to LE.

I just got a KXAN notification of a package explosion at a Goodwill in South Austin.

One of my friends who was deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan was just talking to me about the bomber. He said that many serviceman, who dealt with IEDS[ Improvised explosive devices] would know how to assemble various types of bombs.

He thinks it might be an ex-infantry soldier.

Or, it could be a former EOD type (police, federal, or military) who has gone negative, or it could be another hyper-detailed smart person who has lost a firm grip on reality, akin to Ted Kaczynski (the Unibomber). What if it is a revolutionary is at work, be it a political revolutionary or a religious one? ISIS has long claimed it would return or infiltrate trained personal to the U.S. to carry out attacks. There are lots of potential options for this just yet.

The 2 packages that were sent out 1) exploded at FedEx, 2) found intact at FedEx Ground both were brought to and sent out from the private delivery service on Brodie

This one they are at now is at a Goodwill on Brodie and package exploded. #7 bomb (3rd for today)

I feel like the bomb going off at FedEx was an experiment to see if sending a bomb through a commercial carrier would work considering people were told the first three bombs were placed there and not actually mailed. After hearing that, no one is going to pick up a package that wasn't "mailed."

I do not believe they scan packages unless they are going aboard a plane to get to their destination and then it would go through a scanner and be subject to "bomb-sniffing" dogs at the airport.


BUT the mailing it back to Austin imo seems significant

I don't think so. The bombs were found near San Antonio, but they were shipped from Austin.


Ah, yes, thanks- "Reading comprehension is fundamental."

If the Goodwill bomb is the same guy he's probably taunting police at this point. They are all near that area surveying the footage from that Fedex. This could either be a distraction or a cocky message: "I'm so close to you and you still cannot catch me."

And moments ago, another possible bomb at a Goodwill store in Austin. At least one injury reported. #AustinBombings #AustinSerialBomber

A lot of times you might send mail from a certain city to the same city, but it is sent out of town for sorting. Our mail here in Beaumont is sorted in Houston, even if it is sent from here to another Beaumont address.
