If you live in Austin, Texas or it’s surrounding areas please do not open any packages that you are not expecting. Do not even touch them.

If you did not order anything and nobody else did. Or if the package seems to be odd. Call your local police department and report that there is a unidentified package at your home and ask for assistance with it.

There have been 3 package bombings in Austin so far. One on March 3rd and two of them today(3/12/18). There are 3 reported deaths and one injury. These bombs are detonated via movement and opening and were believed to be placed at night.

Due to the fact that all 3 houses that were targeted were people of color (first two victims were black and the third was latinx) it is possible that this could be the results of a hate crime, however the reasons and culprits have not yet been found.

Even if you’re expecting a package, take precaution. What my family is doing is taking a picture of the package before picking it up (they’re triggered by being picked up) and plugging the tracking number into ups/usps/fedex/etc. If the tracking number isn’t recognized, DO NOT OPEN IT.
