Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning.

Two people were injured in another explosion in Austin, Texas, Sunday night, and police

weren't saying if it was caused by a package bomb like the three that detonated earlier

this month elsewhere in the city. The latest blast occurred at 830 in a suburban neighborhood known

as Travis country in southwest Austin, far from the previous three that were all in residential

areas in the eastern part of the city, and investigators didn't

immediately confirm what caused it. But police chief, Brian Manley, repeated previously issued warnings

for residents not to touch any unsuspecting packages left at their homes. At a news conference,

he urged people within a half a mile to stay in their homes and said authorities would

keep the surrounding area

blocked off until at least daybreak Monday, given the darkness and the size of the area that they

wanted to check. Two men in their 20s were hurt in the latest blast. Police said that they were

hospitalized with injuries that weren't life-threatening. It was the fourth explosion to rock Austin in

less than three weeks. The first was a package bomb that

exploded at a Northeast Austin home on March 2nd, killing a 39-year-old man. Two more package

bombs then exploded farther south on March 12th, killing a 17-year-old, wounding his mother,

and injuring a 75-year-old woman. Police said all three of those were likely related and

involved packages that had not been mailed or delivered by private carrier, but left overnight on doorsteps. Police said all three of those were likely related and involved packages that had not been mailed or delivered by private carrier but left overnight on doorsteps.
