Fourth Austin Bombing

Posted on March 19, 2018 by Lawrence Person

I should have posted about the Austin Mad Bomber story earlier, but I have no more of a clue who’s behind it than anyone else.

A fourth bomb has exploded, injuring two men. As opposed to previous bombings, this one was in southwest Austin, rather than east Austin, and the two victims were white and Hispanic rather than black (the profile of the previous victims).

Wikipedia has an article and a map of the bombings:

If you have any tips on catching the bomber, the reward is now up to $115,000:

  • Call the Austin Police Department TIPS line at 512-472-TIPS (8477)
  • Call the Texas Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477)
  • Text the letters “DPS”- followed by your tip – to 274637 (CRIMES)

      Not that you appear to be in the target demographic, but stay safe anyhow. Constant vigilance!
