Federal authorities have joined Austin police in investigating a mysterious string of three bombings in 10 days that have left two people dead and three wounded after opening packages left at their doors.
The package bomb attacks come as nearly half a million visitors converge for South by Southwest, a time when national attention is usually focused on Austin for celebrity sightings and other entertainment news. Two blasts hours apart Monday intensified the mystery of who is targeting residents in neighborhoods that stretch from the city’s northern borders to Southeast Austin — and why.
Interim Police Chief Brian Manley said investigators think the incidents are related but have no motive. He said officials are trying to learn what connections the victims have, if any. The youngest victim, a 17-year-old, was killed Monday; the oldest was a 75-year-old woman who was hospitalized after a bomb exploded at her house.
