According to the report, the person is connected to the RV that exploded, causing damage to more than 40 buildings over multiple blocks; knocking out phone, internet, and 911 service in the area; and injuring at least three people. The vehicle was parked next to an AT&T data center which is why it caused interruption to service. They believe that may have been the target.

There was a report that “human remains” had been found. Nashville police confirmed that some remains were found but seemed to revise that report slightly saying they were “looking into whether remains found were human” (leaving open the possibility that they might not be).

What was unusual about the bombing was that there was reportedly shooting beforehand and a recorded warning from the RV telling people to evacuate the area, there was a bomb.

That’s also now prompted the FBI to investigate whether this was designed to target law enforcement, to have others leave but have police respond to deal with the threat. If that’s so, then that, of course, suggests the perpetrator(s) would be anti-police. ‘I kind of think it was probably an idea to get first responders to come in,’ ex-NYPD Detective Bill Ryan said on Fox News on Saturday. Ryan, who was part of an arson and explosions task force, said he believes a group of people may be behind the attack.

The Nashville Police named the officers who responded and got many people out of the danger zone, likely saving lives. They were named by Metro Police Chief John Drake as Officer Brenna Hosey, Officer James Luellen, Officer Michael Sipos, Officer Amanda Topping, Officer James Wells, and Sergeant Timothy Miller, as he praised them for rushing into danger to save others. One man was walking by the RV right before it exploded with his dog when the police told him to get back, saving his life.
