COLLEYVILLE - The police chief of the Colleyville Police Department said they are working around the clock with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive to find a suspect after a bomb was found in a box outside a woman's home.
At the Monday afternoon press conference, police played some of the 911 call made by the Colleyville mother who discovered a FedEx box with suspicious content inside just after 11 a.m. Sunday. In the call, the woman said her neighbor told her the content appeared to be a homemade bomb.
Police Chief Steve Dye said they have made no arrests, but said they are not ruling out any suspects, including the ex-husband of the woman who received the package, which police said may have been in front of the home for up to 12 hours before its discovery.
