“As I’m stumbling around, I just tell myself to stay on my feet and to stay alive,” Wells said. “Christmas will never be the same.”
The explosion was a deliberate bombing and "feels like" it had a connection to the AT&T building severely damaged in the blast, Mayor John Cooper said Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation."
Cooper cited "a lot of momentum behind the investigation" and said he expects "a lot of questions to be answered relatively soon." No motive for the attack had been determined.
FBI agents searched a home in Antioch and visited a real estate office in Nashville in connection with the bombing. An FBI spokesman who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed to The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network, that Warner lived at the home.
FBI Special Agent Jason Pack said agents visited Fridrich & Clark Realty's Green Hills office. Owner Steve Fridrich said the company reported to the FBI that Warner had worked for the company.
“We are one of the nearly 500 people who so far have contacted them with tips," Fridrich said.
Warner was a longtime area resident who held several IT jobs, including one as an independent computer technician with Fridrich & Clark, and public records show he had extensive experience with electronics and alarm systems. Warner had been embroiled in legal battles over real estate with family members in recent years.
