I know people who do this are not in their right frame of mind, but it would be so much better for everyone involved if people intent on committing suicide didn't take other lives - or, in this case, property - with them.

 

Nashville bomber acted alone, was driven by 'paranoia,' FBI says

The FBI said Monday the Christmas Day bombing in downtown Nashville was motivated by the bomber's intention to kill himself and was not an act of terrorism.

 

After a wide-ranging investigation, the FBI said in a report that the bomber, Anthony Quinn Warner, acted alone "in an effort to end his own life." The FBI said Warner was motivated by several "life stressors" including "paranoia," "eccentric" beliefs and "deteriorating interpersonal relationships."

 

"Warner specifically chose the location and timing of the bombing so that it would be impactful, while still minimizing the likelihood of causing undue injury," the FBI said in a six-page news release.

 

Agents determined Warner did not intend "to bring about social or political change," an important factor in the decision not to label the bombing an act of terrorism. The FBI also said there was no indication Warner was specifically targeting any people or entities in the downtown corridor.

 

Investigators say Warner used an RV packed with explosives to engulf a city block at about 6:30 a.m. Christmas morning. He announced his presence beforehand and warned people to evacuate through a loudspeaker that played the Petula Clark song "Downtown" and broadcast an eerie countdown in a computerized female voice.

 

Residents fled from their loft apartments in pajamas as police officers swept through buildings in a desperate attempt to get people out before the blast. Warner was the only person killed.

 

The RV was parked outside an AT&T switch facility, and the resulting damage crippled telephone and internet services across the region for days. FBI spokesperson Joel Siskovic said the investigation did not find any evidence that Warner wanted that to happen.

 

Federal agents investigated the possibility the attack might have been motivated by a political ideology or a wide range of baseless conspiracy theories, including theories related to the 2020 election and the rollout of the 5G cellular network.

Siskovic said the investigation did not indicate those theories were related to the bombing.

2 killed when massive fireworks cache sets off explosions, fire at Ontario home

 

 

Wow!  Helluva explosion!  I'm very familiar with that neighborhood. I've driven close by there maybe 100 times.  I used to have a girlfriend in Upland (many years ago).  The turnoff to her house is real close to that explosion.

I won't post it, but someone on Twitter slowed down the footage from a news helicopter and it appears you can see a body laying there. :(  Later on there is a tarp covering it

Pilot arrested at Jenks airport with 102 pounds of meth

 

The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office arrested a man Tuesday night after they say he landed a plane at the R.L. Jones Airport in Jenks with 102.7 pounds of methamphetamine on board.

 

Homeland Security Investigations agents in Tulsa were alerted by Customs and Border Protection about the plane headed to the area from another state.

 

CBP asked agents to do a pilot certification inspection on the pilot, later identified as Badlands McNally, at the airport.
