Another explosion hit Austin on Sunday night, injuring two people and leading police to warn residents to remain indoors as investigators tried to determine if the blast was linked to three package bombs in the Texas capital earlier this month.
The latest explosion came hours after authorities raised the reward by $50,000 for information leading to the arrest of whoever was responsible for the first three explosions. It now totals $115,000.
The first explosion in Austin recently was a package bomb that exploded at a north-east Austin home on 2 March, killing a 39-year-old man. Two more package bombs exploded farther south on 12 March, killing a 17-year-old boy, wounding his mother and injuring a 75-year-old woman.
Police said the blasts were likely related and involved packages that had not been mailed or delivered by private carrier but left overnight on doorsteps.
