Police said the suspect killed himself Wednesday by detonating an explosive device as authorities moved in to arrest him.

Conditt is suspected to be the man behind five package bomb explosions that killed two people and wounded several others. The bombings began March 2.

Neighbors expressed shock that Conditt, who was homeschooled, was the bomber.

“I know this is a cliché but I just can’t imagine that,” one neighbor, whose children grew up playing with Conditt, told the Austin Statesman.

1. It is hard to tell from the grainy security images, but it looks like he has burn marks on the palm

...of his right hand....

Likely from handling chemicals for the bomb making...

Will be interesting to find out more about this man as the investigation gives details....
