During a press conference, U.S. Attorney Donald Cochran said, “Based on the evidence that we’ve gathered to this point, we’ve come to the conclusion that an individual named Anthony Warner is the bomber. He was present when the bomb went off, and he perished in the bombing.”
The Metro Nashville Police Department on Sunday posted a 39-second video of the blast.

The video shows a person walking away from the scene, followed by an explosion that rattled the MNPD camera.
Police personnel responded to reports of gunshots on Christmas Day in an area of the city known for its nightlife.
A few minutes later, they found an RV broadcasting a warning message to leave the area.
Investigators said the RV also broadcasted the 1964 hit song Downtown by British singer Petula Clark. The vehicle exploded shortly after.
