In the past few weeks alone there have been a number of package bombings in the Texas capital, Austin. The bomber, Mark Anthony Conditt, is now dead but as of yet police have not been able to figure out his motive. Although many of the bombings did not result in fatalities, two Austin citizens have been lost in this tragedy.

According to CNN, Anthony Stephan House, a senior project manager at Texas Quarries, and Draylen Mason, a talented musician and student at University of Texas at Austin, were both killed in separate bombing attacks. House was killed on March 2 at the age of 39 during the first package bombing, which left rather few clues as to who the attacker was. Only ten days later Mason was killed by the same package bombing that injured his mother, but luckily did not result in her death. While none of the other Austin bombings resulted in fatalities, Conditt did make a few more attacks before commiting suicide with an explosive device.

Fox News has stated that a second attack on March 12 wounded a 75 year old woman, whose name was not released by authorities. On March 18, a package bomb was placed by the sidewalk, injuring the two men who triggered its hotwire. The final bombing seems to have gone somewhat awry, as the package detonated on a FedEx conveyor belt only injuring one employee.

Conditt made the mistake of going to a FedEx store suspiciously dressed and parking his SUV in sight of cameras, as Austin police were able to determine who he was. Through GPS technology police were able to see that he was at all of the bombing locations, CNN has said. Knowing that his jig was up, Conditt made a heartless 25 minute video confessing to the bombings before detonating one of his homemade explosives in his car.

While Mark Conditt is no longer a threat to the people of Austin, he has deeply scarred the community and changed the lives of many for the worse. Austin police have warned those in the city to “remain vigilant and report anything suspicious.”
