The Nashville mayor vows the bomber will be „brought to justice“ as the bombing suspect remains unidentified.
Police The scene of the Nashville bombing. Nashville Mayor John Cooper condemned the early Christmas morning bombing as a “cowardly attack” and said the city won’t rest until “those responsible… are brought to justice.” The bomber remained unidentified on Christmas evening. Cooper spoke in an early evening press conference. In it, he revealed that 41 buildings were damaged and three people suffered minor injuries; the city’s police chief said authorities discovered tissue in the blast zone that they suspect might be human remains. There’s no word on a suspect or suspects at this point, and it’s not clear whether the bomber died in the blast, authorities say. “The RV was detonated, so if it was someone inside, we have no idea. It was such a large explosion,” said Police Chief John Drake. “We will continue to examine that to see if it was human remains.” Some 911 services and AT&T went down for a time, said the chief. The mayor bristled with resolve and said he is angry about the blast, calling it “a deliberate bomb set off in our community” that caused “catastrophic” damage to a historic neighborhood in addition to the injuries.
