The suspect believed to be responsible for a series of bombings in Texas has been killed following a confrontation with Austin's Police SWAT team.
"The suspect is deceased and has significant injuries from detonating a bomb inside his vehicle," Interim Police Chief Brian Manley told reporters early on Wednesday morning.
"As members of the Austin PD SWAT team approached the vehicle, the suspect detonated a bomb inside the vehicle, knocking one our squad officers back and one of our squad officers fired at him as well."
Manley said the suspect had not been positively identified as of yet, but said he was a 24-year-old white male. He added that the community should stay vigilant, suggesting that there could be other suspect packages outstanding.
