Truck With Reported Connection To Nashville Blast Stopped By Authorities

A truck suspected of having connections to the downtown Nashville explosion Christmas morning has been stopped by authorities 30 miles outside of the city, according to Mike Sington of NBC.

Per the report, the truck contained a PA system used to broadcast a warning for people to evacuate the area prior to a blast near the AT&T building that impacted dozens of buildings.

Earlier Sunday, law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News that 63-year-old Anthony Quinn Warner is the person of interest in the bombing. In addition, authorities say Warner is believed to be deceased from the explosion.

Saturday, the FBI and ATF searched a home in Antioch, Tenn., which they believe belongs to Warner. The same RV parked at the blast was shown at the home via Google Earth images.
