When members of the SWAT team approached, the suspect detonated an explosive device inside the vehicle, the police chief said. Austin has been targeted by four package bombings since March 2. Manley said the suspect is believed to be responsible for all the major Austin bombings. President Donald Trump, who had earlier said whoever was responsible for the Austin bombings was “obviously a very sick individual or individuals,” tweeted, “AUSTIN BOMBING SUSPECT IS DEAD. Great job by law enforcement and all concerned!”The suspect’s death followed a day of rapid-fire developments in the case.
