CHARLOTTE, N.C. 2020 was difficult and most people probably won’t remember it as a lucky year.
A global pandemic, shutdowns, unemployment and isolation have made it tough for so many. But one Charlotte pre-school teacher, who was laid off in September and then lost his father, finally saw the tables turn.
“We’ve come to the conclusion that Anthony Warner is the bomber,” Donald Q. Cochran, the U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, said at a news conference Sunday. “He was present when the bomb went off, and he perished in the bombing.”
Investigators said they believe that he acted alone. He was identified through remains found scattered among the wreckage.
Hundreds of federal investigators had flocked into Nashville after the blast, chasing the leads that poured in by the hundreds to locate the culprit. Now that they have found him, they are still trying to make sense of who he was and why he would set off an explosion that shattered a district where the lights are indeed bright and people flock to forget their trouble and cares in a year with no shortage of them.
