The Austin bombing suspect has been identified as Mark Anthony Conditt, law enforcement sources tell CBS News.

Reporters have converged on a neighborhood in an Austin suburb where police say Conditt, who died overnight, lived.

Police have blocked off the roads around Wilbarger and Second streets in Pflugerville, which is just north of Austin and not far from where a package bomb killed a 39-year-old man on March 2.

Pflugerville Mayor Victor Gonzales told The Associated Press that the bomber lived in his city, two blocks from his house.

Jay Schulze, who has lived in the Pflugerville neighborhood for 13 years, says he was out jogging last night when he was stopped by police and asked about the bombings. He says there has been a large police presence in the neighborhood since last night and that that police flew drones over a home from about 9 p.m. until about 3 a.m.

He described the home over which the drones were flying as “a weird house with a lot of people coming and going” and a bit rundown.
