A bombing spree that killed 2 people and injured several others in Austin, Texas, over the last three weeks apparently ended this morning when a cornered person of interest blew himself up in his own car. Police identified him from store receipts and located him in a motel outside Austin. He attempted to flee when police SWAT teams closed in, then drove into a ditch alongside an interstate highway access road and detonated a bomb. Police named the deceased suspect as Mark Anthony Conditt, age 23, an unemployed community college dropout who self-identified as politically conservative and opposed gay marriage.
