(CBS) – A law enforcement source told CBS News at least one person of interest has been identified in connection to the recreational vehicle that exploded on Christmas morning, rocking downtown Nashville.
Multiple sources confirm that Anthony Quinn Warner, a Nashville area resident, had a similar make and model RV as the one in photos released to the public. Warner was described as a 63-year-old White man. Federal agents are at the address listed to Warner. FBI Special Agent in Charge Doug Korneski said Saturday there is no indication of additional explosive threats.
He said officials had received about 500 tips and are “not working on any assumptions.” Police responded to a call of shots fired early Friday near the AT&T building in downtown Nashville. Instead, they found an RV with clothes and blinds covering the windows. Shortly afterward, the warning of an imminent bomb started blaring and an explosion rocked the area at about 6:30 a.m.
Shell casings have been found at the scene, but the ammunition related to them is believed to have been set off by the large explosion. The scene is very large, and authorities said they are beginning at the “outermost” perimeter of the blast and working their way in. There is a video of the RV in downtown Nashville. Investigators have a Google Maps photo of the address of the person of interest that shows a similar-looking camper in the yard. Google Maps says the picture was taken in May 2019. READ MORE
