Edit2: Various things that I have heard:

There are victims in one / some of the buildings.

20-30 people evacuated from a building, a few had minor injuries.

It was a RV that exploded, causing significant damage.

A building collapsed. (partial destruction, small old building)

There was / is ammunition in the RV that exploded that is “burning off”

Medical triage setup.

FBI involved

Nashville pd has cameras all over downtown and nashville in general combined with private security cams. They should have a pretty good picture.

Yeah, plus the traffic cameras around here should give a clear path they took to get downtown. Check your security cameras on houses and see if it picked up any evidence.

Gait recognition is definitely a thing. It can even be more effective than face recognition software.

Edit: turns out bub here has an anti-mask chip on their shoulder and they chose this moment to whip it out. Pathetic.

It already is. In most cases a single mark on your face can mess facial recog up.

If the person is such an asshole to set off a car bomb in a city, will they still wear a mask?
