Explosion at a fedex facility. One worker was injured. An intense manhunt is currently underway before the killer or killers the strike again. Here is President Trump. The bombings in austin are terrible. Local, state, and federal are working handinhand to get to the bottom of it. This is obviously a very, very sick individual or navy individuals. These are sick people. And we will get to the bottom of it. Kimberly joining us from austin, texas, Casey Stegall has been closely following this unsolved mystery. Good to see you all and be with you. Things took a very different turn to a when these unexploded devices were found at fedex distribution locations. At least one we have confirmed for sure. That means now instead of someone just placing these on someones doorstep like we previously saw or putting it in a residential neighborhood with a tripwire, which is what we saw here on sunday, this is where it gets different. Now we are talking about someone physically putting a package into the distribution system. They go to giant places like this one back here, multiple fedex locations across Central Texas being investigated and we want to kind of break them down for you. Theres a lot of moving parts and a lot of conflicting information, frankly, thats out there. This is a big location right here in austin and its on the outskirts of austinbergstrom international airport. Officials say a suspicious package was found here this morning and it has closed the whole thing down. Spencer, if you could, my photographer, go to the mobile command unit back there because we should point out there was no explosion here. Just a suspicious package. The mobile command unit, awesome police a very big presence here in addition to atf and fbi agents. Now, the second location, thats in schertz which is near san antonio. A schertz Distribution Center. Thats where the package exploded this morning when it was going down a conveyor belt. You imagine those big amazon Distribution Sites and the United States postal service, all the mail and packages sorted on those belts, it was going down one of those belts apparently when it went off. Fortunately no one was right next to it. No serious injuries. There was some initial talk about a second package that was found at that location. It did not detonate. But that it may be contained explosive material. Police have since walked back back at me and said now only one package was found that location, the one that went off. Then we have a third spot. That is in Sunset Valley, which is only 2 miles or so from sunday nights crime scene. Scene. Officials in Sunset Valley have roped off a fedex store there and the thought is the package that exploded at the Distribution Center down near san antonio, that it might have originated from that location. Again, only 2 miles from sundays scene. It is a little confusing. You have multiple locations, multiple victims, and a whole lot of concern because again, this is a city on alert. Some 420 calls of suspicious packages came in 10911 just in the last 24 hours, according to Austin Police. You can imagine it is straining the resources. Kimberly we have a couple questions. Dana casey, whats the advice to the citizens there because 420 packages. If you get that many calls commits going to take a while for the police to get there. Right, but they are wanting to make sure that they docked their is and cross their ts. Thats why Governor Abbott and others have diverted lawenforcement resources. There are more than 500 federal agents alone. Atf, fbi, boots on the ground here and thats not including all of the Austin Police officers and bomb squads brought in from houston pd and the rest. They are flooding it with resources so they can follow up on every single one of their tips. The primary message being sent to the public is to remain vigilant and if you see something, say something. I was talking about this yesterday and are reporting. We are used to doing that at, say, the airport or big public event, the super bowl. A game or something. However not so much when you are in a residential neighborhood or if youre in a mcdonalds or something, lets say. Theyre asking people if you see something, do not touch it. Call police so they can come follow up on it. Dana thank you. Juan casey, what about copycats . Is this the work of one person or multiple people . Is there anything like that thats giving us some hint as to what is going on here . And i have a followup. Thats a good question because there is concern always with copycat crimes and that one of the Reasons Police say they are being very guarded with the information they release. Thats why they say they are only similarities with the explosive devices that have gone off so far. They wont go into great detail with that. If they release too much information, something only the bomber or bombers would know themselves, they dont want to put that out there into the public so that people a, dont copy the crime and b, they dont want to jeopardize their investigation. Right now they dont believe this is a copycat situation. It could be the work of one person or more, they say. Frankly, they simply dont know, juan. Juan a quick followup. Initially the two people who died were black men. And then there was a suspicion on the part of the Congressional Black Caucus that they should be identified as a terrorist act and you had the naacp saying to the black community but then the last two people injured were white. So where does that stand . Well, it kind of through the whole targeting motive potentially that was being discussed kind of out the window, is how i gathered it from Law Enforcement yesterday. Because you are right, the first several bombings, the first three that started on march 2nd, 1 man was killed and then ten days later, two People Killed in a single blast. These were all packages that were left on a porch. They didnt go through a Distribution Center. They werent mailed. They were just dropped off the porch overnight. And then the people open them or moved them and caused the explosion. The victims were africanamerican or latino. And these were in east austin, traditionally known as a lower income area, if you well. So thats where that theory came out that they mightve been targeting specific groups of people, a hate crime. But with the tripwire being put on the device sunday, police say that meant it was designed to hurt anybody who discovered it. Not a specific person. That kind of took the weight out of the argument a little bit. Kimberly casey, thank you. We will take it around the table. Greg, your thoughts, in terms of the facts and with the police and authorities know so far. Reluctant in the middle of investigation to give out some signature elements of the bombs and how they compared or they are dissimilar. Greg clearly we dont know much from that. These events show once again how an individual or a group of individuals can command an audience and its as contagious as it is alluring. Could be copycats, could be the media focuses on it so heavily that its irresistible. The challenge in this world is to somehow fight this numerical significance where one person, a shooter or bomber or terrorist, can affect thousands of people or in fact millions because all of the network coverage. Hes already affected the world. It will be seen as a success. Meanwhile, the real lesson from all this is that, you know, evil deeds succeed with proper planning. As long as you plan ahead. We still dont know anything about vegas. We know nothing. The reason why we dont know anything is because he planned for two years. Thats why we have to plan. You know, a half a plan cannot go up against a full plan. Clearly this is a planned event. We have to learn, we have to plan against these planners. He who plans wins. Kimberly all right. Dana. Dana i know as of yesterday they had 500 federal Law Enforcement officers on the ground in order to help. That probably has doubled, and its not just happening in austin. Or you have to be vigilant because copycats, if you have something on national media, copycats can happen anywhere in the country. The resources required in order to deal with things like this dove to disrupt plans, if you can. If not, then deal with the aftermath. Local Law Enforcement and state governments are having a big problem on our hands because they got a lot of resources, a lot of things they need to spend money on and theres not enough money to go around. The most important thing is Economic Growth which thankfully we have right now. But planning ahead. These types of things are going to continue. Its not just localized anymore. Its not going to just be in austin. Its going to be all over the world. Jesse i will speculate because theres not really anything else to talk about. Its not isis in my opinion because its not spectacular and theres no video and they have not claimed credit for it so far. The racial angle was interesting because in the beginning it was three minorities. Then it was two white men. I dont like how it become so racialized in the beginning. But they are still leaving it open. Lets put that aside. To me, it looks like a serial killer who doesnt want to get his hands dirty. Someone who enjoys toying with Law Enforcement and the gamesmanship of it all. And someone who i think is going to get caught pretty soon because theres video cameras all over these Distribution Centers. Whenever you drop off a package. Theres going to be surveillance footage. Its obviously someone sophisticated because they have tripwire technology. So its not an idiot. But its not someone cia, not that high level. Obviously it someone who gets their materials from a local store, from what we are hearing from the senators. Maybe an anarchist. Someone who likes death and destruction. Its really hard to tell. Its just sad because texas and florida at this point have suffered so greatly in the past year, whether its national disasters, shootings, bombings. It takes a special type of citizen in these two states to reckon with it, and texas, like they always do, is doing a very good job. Kimberly also i think whats interesting is they have an unexploded device that they are going to be able to study which is going to be significant. Its almost impossible to not leave some kind of trace of dna or forensics that could be a clue. Then you have all the pieces and parts intact, chase back trace back the origination. Look to see any similarities there and the construction of it can actually show the detail of a particular group, if its a terrorist or small actor. Juan, your comments. Juan i think what we know is theres been a variety of delivery methods used on these bombs. Its not all the same bomb. Today i was watching danas show at 2 00 and she had an expert who said that the detonation caps are different, and very difficult to obtain. So if you go and find the source, which is what kimberly was suggesting, of the detonation caps or detonation caps that were lost, thats going to be a big clue. Kimberly they could be doing that on purpose to obfuscate so they wouldnt be able determine it was a single actor to make it appear as multiple individuals. Juan yeah, i dont know. Thats what we dont know. It could be one guy has somehow obtained these destination det. I think you have a lot of people at the moment alarmed and uptight. I think that cant be overstated, how nervous people are in austin and whats going on now. Why austin . Why this moment . Its not clear. Kimberly it seemed so far that tone and tenor they are looking at, like a serial bomber was being very clever to not reveal himself, not put any manifesto out, avoiding any attempts to communicate with Law Enforcement or fbi. We expose a major missed opportunity to capture the Department School shooter. Thats next. We the people. Are defined by the things we share. And the ones we love. Who never stop wondering what well do or where well go next. We the people who are Better Together than we are alone. Are unstoppable. Welcome to the entirely new expedition. Brbut how will his dentured to thicope with. A steak. Luckily for brad, this isnt a worry because hes discovered super poligrip. It holds his denture tight and helps give him 65 more chewing power. Leaving brad to dig in and enjoy the tastiest of tbones. Super poligrip, helping you enjoy the foods you love. Were all under one roof now. Congratulations. Thank you. How many kids . My two. His three. Along with two dogs and jake, our new parrot. That is quite the family. Quite a lot of colleges to pay for though. A lot of colleges. You get any Financial Advice . Yeah, but im pretty sure its the same plan they sold me before. Well your situations totally changed now. Right, right. How bout a plan that works for 5 kids, 2 dogs and jake over here . That would be great. That would be great. That okay with you, jake . Get a portfolio that works for you now and as your needs change from Td Ameritrade investment management. But their nutritional needs remain instinctual. Thats why theres purina one true instinct. Real meat 1. A different breed of natural nutrition. Purina one true instinct. Now, try new purina one true instinct treats. Greg its a story that makes you anger every day. Document show official suggested that the parkland madman be committed a year or so ago which could have prevented his murder spree. Deputy Scot Peterson was one of those officials so the same deputy that sheriff israel through under the bus for not confronting the shooter had actually tried to do the right thing long before that. Where was his boss then . Getting his face painted on cars . Why wasnt the killer nabbed despite all the red flags . What we saw was a county they did half a right thing. They saw something, did nothing. Its an ugly lesson. Half a right thing can be worse than one whole wrong thing or pretends to be progress and that prevents real solutions. Example more Lenient School discipline has been hailed as progress. But is it . National reviews david french reports in 2013 the Broward County school board agreed with Law Enforcement to limit oncampus arrests. To that effect this case . Could be. But we know what went wrong, and its time to write it. First, fire israel. Has there ever been a more incompetent boob in Law Enforcement . Lets create a database for sick people tagged in civil court based on testimony by officials, teachers, and so on. If you are on that list, then no guns. Thats called a plan. Its not half the plan. Its one that would save 17 would have saved 17 lives. Jesse, this article, cant remember if it was in the federalist or National Review about how they decided not to send kids, to get involved with Law Enforcement. They didnt want kids to go to jail. There has been some talk that that could have been the reason why this guy got through. Jesse it could have been. Started under the Obama Administration when they didnt want to unfairly target minority students in Public Schools because a lot of them were getting arrested. It was having repercussions on going to college and things like that. But at the same time, you have such an egregious case of misbehavior and dangerous behavior from this kid. If you are cutting yourself, if you are thing i want to kill someone with a gun, if youre throwing a mother up against the wall. If you are doing all sorts of outrageous things in the event tried to be civilly committed twice, the fbi has been tipped off two or three times, the police have visited your house almost 30 to 50 times. Its not like there were laws and mechanisms in place to prevent this. Everything on the state, local, and federal level broke down. If you look at a guy like israel who was taken zero responsibility. Cares more about politics and Public Safety. Apparently he doesnt discuss crime. Hes about parade routes and whether he can get up which are with politicians. He is not liked among people on the ground there. So he brought all his funky friends from softer Law Enforcement back present with them in charge of places like parkland. You see what happens. Poor training, poor reaction time. The shooting in maryland today is interesting because it was done with a pistol. An armed person was at the school and neutralize the shooter before he could do anymore damage. Life kind of gives you lessons. To not look at these lessons is just not the right thing. Youre not hearing the media talk about an ar15. You are not hearing the media talk about School Safety solutions with Armed Security guards because it doesnt fit their antinra narrative. If you look at what happened in maryland, as a solution to the problem. Greg dana, the sheriff is still there. What do you have to do to lose your job in florida . I dont understand it. Dana i dont know either. Greg [laughs] dana could be a recall, you would imagine. I dont know. I dont know why. I do think its pretty interesting, the deputy who took so much grief. The deputys lawyer said repeatedly there is more to this story. They were holding back. Greg that ticks me off about israel even more. If this guy peterson was trying to get this guy out of the school and if israel did nothing at and then threw him under the bus, what a loathsome creature. Terrible. Kimberly heres a problem. So many missed opportunities that it really goes back to even in 2016 they had the opportunity to put away nikolas cruz and put him in voluntary confinement. They dont take these opportunities when they know that he is mentally dangerous and unfit person, there by creating a further Public Safety risk t
