FedEx explosion in Schertz, Texas, is linked to Austin blasts
SCHERTZ, Texas—Another explosion in Texas on Tuesday, this time inside a FedEx Corp. facility outside San Antonio, kept the region on edge as the hunt continued for clues to a recent spate of bombings there.
“There was one other package” besides the one that exploded at the FedEx facility “that we believe was also loaded with an explosive device,” McManus said late Tuesday morning during a news conference. That second parcel was no longer at the facility, and authorities were “working on” it, he said.
A FedEx spokesman said, “The individual responsible also shipped a second package that has now been secured and turned over to law enforcement.”
The company also gave law enforcement “extensive evidence related to these packages and the individual that shipped them collected from our advanced technology security systems,” Jim McCluskey added in a statement Tuesday.
