Wtf is going on with these explosions in Austin?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.was...in-police-say/
AUSTIN — Police in Austin said an explosion in a residential neighborhood Sunday night appeared to be related to the three bombs that detonated earlier this month, plunging the Texas capital further into a frightening mystery that forced residents to remain locked in their home as investigators scoured the area for answers.

The blast Sunday, which injured two men who were riding bicycles through a residential area, was the latest in a string of explosions to rock Austin, which has been on edge since the previous bombings killed two people and seriously injured a third.Authorities have seemed at a loss to explain who could be setting off these devices or why, saying only that the bombs were sophisticated and could have been motivated by racial bias, although they acknowledged that this remains only a theory.

This latest explosion injured two men in their 20s in the southwest portion of Austin. While the previous blasts all involved packages left at homes, this explosive was on the side of the road and possibly triggered by a tripwire, said Brian Manley, the interim Austin police chief.

“We are working under the belief that this is related to the other bombing incidents that have occurred in our community over the last couple weeks,” Manley said at a news conference early Monday.

Yet this latest blast has only deepened the uncertainty surrounding what is happening in Austin at a time when the city has been inundated with visitors for the South by Southwest festival.

The first two bombs killed black people — a 39-year-old construction worker and a 17-year-old high school student — related to prominent members of Austin’s African American community who were also close personal friends. The third bomb seriously injured a 75-year-old Hispanic woman, but it was addressed to a different home and apparently exploded when she was carrying it, according to two people familiar with the case.

The first three explosions detonated in the eastern part of Austin, impacting areas where the city’s black and Hispanic residents live, which prompted some in the area to question whether the initial blast would have prompted more urgency had it gone off in the more affluent, predominantly white neighborhoods.

This fourth explosion went off in the southwestern part of the city, far from the first three, and police said Monday that the two men injured were both white. They were taken to the hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries, officials said, and the hospital said they were in good condition.

Still, police said they were still considering whether at least some of the bombings could have been a hate crime.

“We’ve said from the beginning that we’re not willing to rule anything out, just because when you rule something out you limit your focus,” Manley said in an interview Monday with ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “This does change the concerns that we had initially, although we have still not yet ruled it out until we understand what the ideology or motive is behind the suspect or suspects.”

Manley said in the interview that police do not have any specific evidence leading them to a particular suspect, and he reiterated his plea to the public for tips and information.

I was just going to make a thread about this. Hope they catch the person(s) soon because they obviously know what they’re doing and it’s not just some average Joe’s.

Reminds me of the D.C. sniper attacks back in 2002.

Seriously
Authorities have described the explosives as the sophisticated work of a person or people who know what they are doing, saying that the bombers have been able to assemble and deliver these packages without setting them off at any point. Manley said the explosion Sunday night suggested that the bomber is even more proficient than authorities feared.

Yeah, they were shooting from a hole inside the trunk. Two guys, one teen and an adult. One was sentenced to death and the other to multiple life sentence in prison.

Nah, a police officer wouldn't have those skills. It could be a veteran though or maybe it's just some lunatic bomb enthusiast.

Except for the fact that "Unabomber" stands for University and airline bomber and he specifically targeted people involved with modern technology.

I don't know man, it just seems unnecessary to label it like they did. Judging how the media reports mass shootings, I'm just leery with verbiage now. I know news reporting for school shootings labels it as if it were a high score. A simple, "suspicious package explosions reported in the following areas:" could've been sufficient.
