A package bomb exploded at a FedEx Facility near San Antonio early this morning, drawing fears that it’s connected to the series of deadly blasts in Austin, Tex.
The bomb, which authorities believe was destined for Austin. detonated shortly after midnight at the facility in Schertz.
“It would be silly for us not to admit that we suspect it’s related” to four bombings in Austin this month, FBI San Antonio spokeswoman Michelle Lee told USA Today.
The package exploded at about 12:30 a.m. in the sorting area of the FedEx Ground distribution center.
One person was injured and treated for minor injuries.
The ATF and FBI were headed to the scene this morning.
The blast comes after four package bombs exploded about 80 miles from Austin in the past month, killing two people and wounding four more.
Authorities believe the bombs are connected but are unsure of a motive and do not have a suspect.
On Tuesday, authorities said they were investigating whether the bombs were racially motivated because the victims have been black or Hispanic.
