Austin Police, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have confirmed that the package explosions at separate FedEx facilities Tuesday are connected to the latest four explosions in Texas.

One package exploded Tuesday at a FedEx processing facility in Schertz, Texas. The person injured in the explosion has been treated and released.

The second package was disrupted by law enforcement, officials say. 

Schertz Chief of Police Michael Hansen confirmed that at around 12:25 a.m. local time (1:25 a.m. EST), a package en route to Austin exploded at a Schertz FedEx processing plant.

According police, a medium-sized package exploded on an automatic conveyor track with metal shrapnel and nails. An employee who was standing near the conveyor track when the package went off complained of a ringing in her ears, Hansen said. She was treated at the scene and released. 

Hansen confirmed that the FedEx plant, located on the 900 block of Doerr Lane and Lookout Road and near the city of San Antonio, and the town of Schertz were not the target. Police stated that the package was heading towards Austin. 

FBI agent James Smith did not go into details of what happened or about the package.

"We're trying to understand what actually happened here," Smith confirmed, saying that officials had just secured the FedEx plant to make sure there were no other explosives and authorities have not yet searched the plant for evidence.

In a separate news conference, Austin Police Department officer Destiny Winston confirmed that a suspicious package was discovered at another FedEx location at  4117 McKinney Falls Parkway at 6:19 a.m. local time (7:19 a.m. EST). 

Winston only stated that as a precautionary measure, the bomb squad is at the Austin location and the investigation is ongoing. 

FedEx released the following statement:

"We can confirm that a single package exploded while in a FedEx Ground sortation facility early this morning. One team member is being treated for minor injuries. We are working closely with law enforcement in their investigation. We are not providing any additional specific information about this package at this time," FedEx stated.

Austin Police Department Interim Police Chief Brian Manley issued a statement on Twitter Tuesday morning, urging people to be safe and watchful.

Austin has been the location of multiple bombings throughout the last few weeks that have hurt or killed various people.

The Schertz explosion makes the fifth explosion in area since March 2.

So far, a total of two people have died and now five people have been injured in the explosions.

Timeline of Texas Bombings

First bombing: The first explosion took place before 7 a.m. on March 2, when a package exploded on the front porch of a house on Haveford Drive, located just east of Interstate 35 in North Austin.

The victim, 39-year-old Stephan House, was taken to St. David’s Round Rock where he died about 8 a.m.

Austin police said the package was left with the intention to hurt or possibly kill someone.

Second bombing: The second explosion took place on March 12, around 6:50 a.m. at a home located on Oldfort Hill Drive, which is near East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in East Austin.

This blast, which occurred in the home's kitchen, claimed the life of 17-year-old Draylen Mason. The explosion also injured his mother.

Third bombing: Hours later, around noon on March 12, a third package exploded at a home on Galindo Street in East Austin.

A 75-year-old Hispanic woman was severely injured when she picked up a package from her front porch. She was last listed in critical but stable condition at Dell Seton Medical.

Fourth bombing: The fourth explosion occurred on March 18 around 8:42 p.m. on the 4800 block of Dawn Song Drive.

A 22-year-old man and a 23-year-old man, both white, were walking down a neighborhood road when they apparently tripped an explosion.

This explosion differed from the others, because, according to Interim Police Chief Brian Manley, what was most likely a tripwire detonated the device.

Manley urged anyone in the Travis Country neighborhood who may have surveillance footage from Sunday to reach out to APD at 512-974-5210 so that investigators can review it.

Fifth bombing: At least one person is hurt after a bomb went off at a FedEx plant in Schertz, Texas, on Tuesday, March 20, 2018.

A total of 340 special agents are now in Austin investigating. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Schertz police, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, San Antonio bomb squad, and Home Land Security are investigating.
