Dan Patrick on Austin Bomber: ‘This Was Evil at Its Worst’

EXCERPT:

PATRICK: "I would say it’s a combination of two things. It was all the work they did over 19 days so that when they saw that video, they said, 'That matches someone we’d been looking at.' So it took both pieces. Obviously, once he changed his pattern instead of planting bombs in front of homes, that he went to mail a bomb, that exposed him to the cameras and the video and we saw the vehicle. So it was both pieces of work. Great detective work and great heroism by these law enforcement officers. Sandra, I just want to remember people of two names: Stephan House, the 39-year-old man with an 8-year-old daughter who was killed by this bomber, and Draylen Mason, 18-year-old young man who was going to get a music scholarship to UT who will never get a chance to walk on that campus, and the two others that were injured. This was evil at its worst. This bomber would have killed women, children, injured a woman — it didn’t matter, black, white or brown. He attacked everyone."
