Federal authorities say a 63-year-old Antioch man was responsible for a Christmas morning bombing that left the suspect dead and captured the nation’s attention over the holiday weekend as officials worked to determine who parked an RV downtown to detonate.
What motivated him is still unknown.
Hundreds of federal, state and local law enforcement officers worked to solve the case, and just 60 hours after the explosion, agents Sunday evening named Anthony Quinn Warner as the bomber. He died in the blast.
“He was present when the bomb went off and he perished in the bombing,” said Don Cochran, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee.
Anthony Quinn Warner was identified as the "bomber" linked to the massive explosion on Second Avenue in downtown Nashville on Christmas Day. Authorities say he died in the blast.
Through DNA evidence, authorities confirmed Warner’s remains were found at the scene, Cochran said.
