Federal authorities have confirmed the identity of the bomber responsible for the explosion in downtown Nashville on Christmas morning.
US Attorney Don Cochran identified the suspect in the case as Anthony Quinn Warner. He added that Warner died in the explosion.
Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives searched the 63-year-old’s home in the 100 block of Bakertown Road in Antioch on Saturday.
A source close to the federal investigation said that among several different tips and angles, agents are investigating whether or not Warner had paranoia that 5G technology was being used to spy on Americans.
Investigators confirmed the song “Downtown” by Petula Clark was playing before the explosion.

After an unexpected hiccup in October that briefly dampened the spirit of economic recovery, Bradley County’s unemployment rate rebounded a month later by plummeting two full percentage points to 4.7%.
According to Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development data released on the doorstep of Christmas, the November plunge dropped the local jobless mark to its lowest level since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The November mark places Bradley County in a six-way tie for the state’s 28th lowest jobless number. Sharing the rank are Anderson, Hamblen, Hamilton, Jefferson and Weakley counties.
Bradley’s numbers place it squarely below the state and national levels. Not seasonally adjusted, the Tennessee rate for November was 5% while the U.S. model came in at 6.4%. Seasonally adjusted, the state mark was 5.3% and the national figure was 6.7%.
Among its Southeast Tennessee neighbors, Bradley County continued to share the lead for the region’s lowest jobless mark. Hamilton County also came in at 4.7%, representing roughly the same drop — from October to November — that Bradley County enjoyed.
November rates in other nearby counties included McMinn, 5%, down from 6.9%; Meigs, 5.6%, down from 8.3%; Monroe, 4.8%, down from 6.7%; Polk, 4.9%, down from 7%; and Rhea, 6.1%, down from 8.4%.

Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said no explosives were found in a suspicious box truck that was playing audio similar to that used in the Nashville explosion.
RCSO said the truck traveled into Wilson County, prompting a highway to shut down.
The driver, 33-year-old James Turgeon of Holly Grove Road near Murfreesboro was charged with two counts of felony filing a false report and one count of tampering with evidence Sunday night by lead Sheriff’s Detective Joseph Duncan.
It all started Sunday morning when RCSO dispatchers got a call saying the truck was playing audio similar to the RV that exploded on Christmas Day while parked at Crossroads Market in Walter Hill.
“During the course of the investigation, it was revealed Turgeon made a similar announcement at Kings Chapel Independent Missionary Baptist Church at Jefferson Pike and Dunaway Chapel Road while church was in service,” RCSO Detective Sgt. Steve Craig said.
The truck traveled into Wilson County, prompting Highway 231 South to close near Cedars of Lebanon, a Tennessee State Park. RCSO, with help from the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office, stopped the driver and detained him. WCSO Captain Scott Moore said a minor was also found in the truck.
Tennessee Highway Patrol’s Special Operations Unit used a robot to check the vehicle and no devices were detected. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) assisted THP at the scene.
