According to Austin Police Chief Don Manley, another package explosion has occurred in Austin, Texas. This is the fourth one of the month. While the first explosion occurred on March 2, 2018 and was originally seen as an isolationist act, now there has been three other occurrences spread out through the month. This threat could be due to the recent South by The Southwest festival, but it isn't likely. Based off the evidence, I believe that these events might be the act by group of people rather than a single person, as most likely it cannot be one single individual causing all this damage in such as short amount of time. It has also been said that these events could be due hate crimes, as only African Americans and Hispanics have been attacked. A connection has been found between two of the attacks, as one of the victim's stepfather was really good friends with another victim's grandfather. However, I believe that this connection was a coincidence, as the attacker(s) have also attacked two other times with other people who don't have a connection with the others.
