Statesman: Austin bombing suspect, 24-year-old man, dies as police close in, chief says
The suspect in a string of bombings in Austin is dead, interim Austin Police Chief Brian Manley confirmed early Wednesday. Investigators identified several leads but the case really broke in the past 24 to 36 hours, Manley said.
Police were able to track down the Austin bombing suspect when he reportedly detonated a device inside his vehicle, killing himself. Authorities are warning people not to let their guard down. They say he could have sent other packages before his death.
