Austin’s police chief said Thursday that a “domestic terrorist” set off a series of explosions that killed two people and severely wounded four others in Texas’ capital, offering a stronger characterization of the suspected bomber after drawing criticism for being unwilling to do so previously.

The suspected Austin bomber is dead after terrorizing Texas’ capital city for three weeks. And in the end the manhunt wasn’t cracked by hundreds of phoned-in tips, the big pot of reward money or police pleading to the bomber through TV. One of the largest bombing investigations in the U.S. since the Boston Marathon attacks in 2013 came to an...

Fear escalated across Austin Monday after the fourth bombing this month — this time, a blast triggered by a tripwire that demonstrated what police said was a “higher level of sophistication” than the package bombs used in the previous attacks.

Three package bombs left on doorsteps in suburban neighborhoods have exploded in less than two weeks, killing two people, wounding two others and leaving investigators vowing to look at any possible explanation for a motive.

Two package bomb blasts a few miles apart killed a teenager and wounded two women in Austin on Monday, less than two weeks after a similar attack left a man dead in another part of the city.
