This AJ+ video asks if it’s just a coincidence that the three Austin package bombs have all targeted people of color.
The two fatalities in the three attacks are 39-year-old Anthony Stephan House and 17-year-old Draylen Mason, whose mother was critically injured.
75-year-old Esperanza Herrera was injured by the third package.
Austin police have not determined a motive, but they are looking into the possibility of a hate crime.
Hit he jump to see what the local NAACP chapter said, and how Austin prepared for the threat of further domestic terrorism during SXSW last weekend.
The local NAACP chapter has spoken out, saying the pattern has “gotten people’s attention.”
Austin police chief Brian Manley says the bombs were put together with skill and sophisitication.
None of the packages were delivered by FedEx, UPS or USPS. All three packages appeared overnight.
On March 12, over 500 reports of suspicious packages were made, as the city prepared for visitors of last weekend’s SXSW conference.
