CHAOS

Police Evacuate Austin FedEx Facility Over Suspicious Package

Just hours after possible bomb exploded at another facility near San Antonio.

A suspicious package at a FedEx Ground facility in Austin has caused police and fire officials to evacuate the area near the city’s airport, just hours after a midnight explosion at another facility near San Antonio. The chaos unfolds in the aftermath of four bombs within the last two weeks that have killed two people and injured another four. The explosion earlier Tuesday injured one woman, but she was treated at the scene and released. That package was en route to Austin, officials have said. According to CBS San Antonio, an FBI official told reporters that it was “more than possible” the early-morning bomb is related to the other local explosions in the Texas capital. Another FBI special agent, Michelle Lee, told the Associated Press that “it would be silly for us not to admit that we suspect it’s related.”
