A device exploded early Tuesday at a FedEx ground distribution facility in Texas injuring one person, which may be linked to a string of bombings that have rocked the state’s capital this month, officials said.
Schertz Police Lt. Manny Casas told Fox San Antonio a medium-sized box was on the conveyor belt when the explosion occurred shortly after midnight. Casas said a woman was treated for a “possible sound injury” and was released.
FedEx said in a statement to Fox News that one employee is being treated for “minor injuries” after the single package exploded at the facility. Schertz is located 22 miles east of San Antonio and 73 miles south of Austin.
“We are working closely with law enforcement in their investigation,” the statement said. “We are not providing any additional specific information about this package at this time.”
