AUSTIN, Texas ― The man suspected of setting off a series of homemade bombs in the Austin area this month, killing two people and terrorizing the city, died early Wednesday in a confrontation with police, authorities said. Neighbors of Conditt’s parents expressed surprise and disbelief after hearing news of the man’s suspected ties to the explosions. Few of Conditt’s immediate neighbors said they knew him personally, including people who had lived in the area for years. Conditt had worked in sales and purchasing for Crux Manufacturing, a small engineering shop located in Austin, until August. “We believe that this individual is responsible for all incidents that have taken place in Austin, beginning March 2,” Manley said.
