Hours after Austin police asked the person or people behind a recent string of bombs that have impacted the city, reports have come out of two more, possible bombings, with reports suggesting that tow other males have been injured by the incident and have since been taken to a local hospital. The Austin-Travis County EMS also revealed on social media that they were responding to two unconfirmed incidents in the southwest Austin area.
What happened?
On their official Twitter account, the Austin-Travis County EMS issued the following statements:
“Multiple assets on a reported second explosion 4800 block Dawn Song Dr (2032) reports of 2 patients. Investigation if this is the same incident as already reported or a separate incident underway. More information to be provided when available.”

The account also retweeted a message from the Austin Police Department’s official Twitter account:

There have already been two bomb-related deaths in Austin over the past weeks
At this time, it is believed that police are telling residents in the area as telling people to stay inside. As mentioned above, there have already been at least three reports of bombings in Austin, Texas, over the past few weeks, as well as a bombing threat in the area the day before, which have already left two dead and three injured.
At this time, it is unknown if the recent two incidents are related to the previous bombings over the recent weeks. The motive for the bombings is also unknown at this time.
The incident notably came out hours after Austin police asked the person or people behind the bombings to come forward; according to New York Daily News, Austin Interim Police Chief Brian Manley issued the following statement at a press conference:
“We hope this person or persons is watching. We hope you will reach out to us before anyone else is injured or anyone else is killed out of this event.”
As this is a developing story, more information will be updated as made available.
