(CNN) The family of Austin serial bomber Mark Anthony Conditt said Wednesday they were unaware about the "darkness" that might have consumed him. After a short time, authorities said, Conditt pulled into a ditch and detonated an explosive device as Austin Police Department SWAT team members approached his car. His motives seemed to be a mystery to some family members, and authorities. "We had no idea of the darkness that Mark must have been in. Our family is a normal family in every way," an aunt, Shanee, who declined to give her last name, said, reading a family statement.
