Thats close to the Travis Country neighborhood for those that don't know.


Just looked it up on the map and yeah it's super close by.

The package dropped off at Brodie Fedex location is either dropped off at the same time the Travis Country one was dropped off, or the bomber lives in this area. The two locations are 5-min drives apart... too close to be coincidental.

Looked up drop box locations. There is one right off 290 outside LJA engineering.

So many shops in that shopping center. Somebody must have a camera.

Only a mater of time. With 500+ agents on this thing. There has to be some video footage somewhere where they can start making a list of suspects

If he actually used the store. That could also be where the closest drop boxes are scanned in.

This is actually a Fedex-Kinkos store. The other dropboxes near this area are all purely dropboxes (and no storefront). I believe Fedex pick-up typically scan as soon as the truck driver picks up from the dropbox.

Good sign though to find one fully intact. Now can break it down and start tracing parts

Exactly. This mistake might be enough for the FBI to further their profile. Thankfully no one got harmed in this last attempt. Plus now they have vital evidence.

KXAN is reporting at 11:34 that they are about to explode a suspected bomb near ABIA?..

Yeah I think they usually blow it up first. They can put it back together.

That's the FedEx location that they evacuated and locked down earlier.

Correct, but I was pointing out that they may have found another. If that's the case, and the second is true in Shertz, then isn't that 3 today?
trouble
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
Yes, if there are really 2 in schertz, that's 3 for today.

They found this package hours ago though. I still have only seen one report that there are 2 in schertz. The other report is vague as to where the second was found.

The report of a second package in schertz has been retracted. The official they spoke to was referring to the package found in Austin but wasn't clear.

I saw something like this on Twitter but is there anything official on any of this? Seems like typical media misinformation

Best I can tell, he said there was a second package, no one asked for clarification and assumed it was in schertz. I haven't seen any discussion about detonating one there though.

Kxan just tweeted out that the SA chief misspoke about a 2nd package at the Schertz facility

Thank you for the update.

FedEx official statement:

So, the second package was in the facility near ABIA.

Update 12:51 p.m.
KXAN's Alyssa Goard observed FBI agents at the Brodie Lane FedEx measuring doors with a tape measure and covering some entrances with butcher paper inside the location.
A robbery detective told KXAN that method is used to determine height.
Sounds like they may have security video footage and were trying to figure out the perp's height.

My girlfriend lives right near slaughter and Brodie, says three helicopters are flying around, lots of sirens going off. Are the cops closing in on someone? Sure hope so.
