Also on Sunday, officials identified the Christmas Day bombing suspect as Anthony Quinn Warner, 63. Police had regarded Warner as a person of interest in the bombing since at least Saturday when federal and local investigators converged on the home linked to him.
The bombing took place on Christmas Day well before downtown streets were bustling with activity and was accompanied by a recorded announcement warning anyone nearby that a bomb would soon detonate. Then the audio switched to a recording of Petula Clark’s 1964 hit “Downtown” shortly before the blast.
Warner was killed in the blast. He was believed to be acting alone, although officials have not publicly declared a motive in the case. He was not known to law enforcement prior to the blast.
