Austin serial bombings

There was a bad person in Austin, Texas who made bombs and put them in places where lots of people could get hurt. The first bomb was put in a package and left at someone's front porch. When they opened it, the bomb blew up and hurt them really badly. After that, there were more bombs left in other places. Some were even left on the side of the road in boxes. A lot of people were really scared and wanted the bad person to be caught before they could hurt anyone else. The police worked very hard to find the bad person and eventually they did. They found him and he died before he could hurt anyone else. It was a very scary time for the people in Austin, but the police did a good job keeping everyone safe.
