The FBI and Nashville police are on a manhunt for the perpetrator of a large explosion that went off Friday on 2nd Street North. Authorities are calling the event „an intentional act“ and have found possible human remains in the area, where a Christmas morning explosion rocked the city’s downtown area and injured three people. A suspect or suspects have not been publicly identified at this time. „We will find out who did this,“ FBI Special Agent Matt Foster said during a Friday news conference, according to local news outlet The Tennessean. „This is our city, too. We’re putting everything we have into finding who was responsible for what happened here today.“ The FBI’s Memphis field office is investigating along with local officials and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the city of Nashville activated its Emergency Operations Center. A spokesperson for the Department of Justice said Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen „directed that all DOJ [Justice Department] resources be made available to assist in the investigation.
