Explosion hits FedEx facility in Schertz, Texas – By Andrew Kozak (nbcnews.com) / March 20 2018
Federal officials confirmed that an explosion hit a FedEx distribution center near San Antonio overnight, an incident that comes on the heels of four bombings around Austin since the beginning of the month.
There were no injuries from the blast, according to Nicole Strong, a spokeswoman with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The FBI also said it had responded to the incident at the site in Schertz, Texas.
Residents in Austin have been shaken by four bombings that have killed two and injured four others in under three weeks.
Authorities say a “serial bomber” is at large and warned that the devices appear to be getting more sophisticated.
The latest blast occurred Sunday when two bicyclists received non-life-threatening injuries after apparently setting off a tripwire in the southwest of the city.
