When police arrived, they found two unloaded pistols near Perry, who said they belonged to Warner. She told officers she no longer wanted them in the home and that Warner was “building bombs in the RV trailer at her residence,” according to a “registration issue” report from the MNPD.
Police also spoke with Throckmorton, who once represented Warner and was also present at Perry’s home. He told authorities that Warner “speaks frequently about the military and bomb-making. (Throckmorton) stated that he believes the suspect knows what he is doing and is capable of making a bomb,” according to the report.
Over the course of his various attempts to enter the home, Warner did not open the door for police, a statement from the department said, and since there was no evidence of a crime, they had no authority to enter.
The MNPD asked the FBI to search its databases for Warner records and none were found, the FBI confirmed in a statement to CNN.
Days left to examine the crime scene
Friday’s explosion outside an AT&T broadcast building in Nashville damaged more than 40 buildings and injured at least eight people.
Investigators positively identified Warner by comparing DNA from the scene to that of gloves and a hat from a vehicle he owned, Rausch said. The reason for the explosion is still unknown.
The blast left the historic Nashville street in disarray, and federal investigators expect it to take until Friday to examine the debris and collect all evidence from the crime scene, authorities said Tuesday.
By that time, the FBI and ATF national response teams had finished touring half of the crime scene and opened it up to city workers for cleanup and security assessment, according to FBI spokesman Jason Pack.
And while authorities have a lot of work to do to determine what caused the destruction, the area began to open up to nearly two dozen business owners and residents outside the impact site.
They were escorted by officials to buildings considered structurally safe to retrieve their important items, in some cases their pets.
“This year has been tough,” Pete Gibson, owner of Pride & Glory Tattoo on 2nd Avenue, told CNN. “But just when we have a little light at the end of the tunnel, everything disappears in two seconds.”
