The top local stories this morning from 四虎影院: Hundreds of local, state and federal law enforcement officials are investigating 鈥� this one earlier this morning at a FedEx facility in Schertz, outside of San Antonio.
This follows a fourth explosion in Austin Sunday that injured two people.
spoke with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) on background about how the agency approaches these kind of investigations.
鈥淭he first thing that the ATF is going to do with any explosion is they're going to be concerned about secondary devices,鈥� he said. 鈥淲hat would happen in these explosions is first responders would show up and then somewhere on scene a secondary device would go off and hurt the first responders.鈥�
Officials also look for a 鈥榮ignature,鈥� which is the packaging and the trade craft a bomber may use to make explosive devices. Typically, the initial explosion may not be the first time a bomber has detonated a device.
鈥淥ne of the things that law enforcement is going to be doing is looking for possible test explosions in the area where a bomber may have created a device in preparation and gone out into the middle of nowhere and tested it,鈥� Stephens said.
Authorities say a serial bomber's likely to blame for the four explosions in Austin and likely linked to the latest explosion outside San Antonio.
