AUSTIN, Texas — Police in Austin say a package exploded at a home Monday morning, killing one person and injuring another, reports CBS affiliate KEYE. Austin-Travis County EMS tells the station a teenage male was killed and woman in her 40s was taken to the hospital with potentially life threatening injuries after the explosion in East Austin.
The incident marks the second such explosion this month at a home in Texas’ capital city. Anthony Stephan House, 39, was killed March 2 when a package exploded at his northeast Austin home, KEYE reports.
Authorities are investigating whether the explosions could be linked. Both occurred in the early-morning hours.
Police are investigating the March 2 incident as a suspicious death. Investigators haven’t released information about the device or possible suspects.
Bomb-sniffing dogs were reportedly at the scene of the explosion Monday morning and investigating nearby houses. There were reports of evacuations of nearby homes.
The FBI is helping Austin police in the investigation. The ATF was also responding to assist.
