Texas City apartment complex and area homes were evacuated Thursday after more explosives were found at the Lakeview Apartments.

Investigators believe the resident who was killed yesterday was mixing explosive chemicals in his apartment.

Mike Rapper said he just met the victim and his 21-year-old roommate who survived the blast.

One of them, Rapper said, offered him a job cleaning storage tanks.

“He was trying to be a good citizen to get me a job.. Never imagined what they were actually doing,” said Rapper.

Authorities said there were two men, believed to be students in their 20s, who apparently had explosives in an apartment in the 8800 block of Palmer Highway.

One man was in a room with explosives when there was a bomb detonated. That man was killed, and the other was slightly injured.

1. My first thought when I heard about this was they were making

speed and it blew up in their faces. Why did they have explosives and bombs? :shrug:
