Schertz is located outside San Antonio, 65 miles south of Austin.The incident comes after four explosions in Austin over the past two weeks, which killed two people and injured four others.Three were parcel bombs dropped off at night in front of homes in the city's east side, and the fourth was a tripwire device that detonated on the west on Sunday. Police suspect that a "serial bomber" is on the loose.It remains unclear whether Monday night's explosion was related to those bombings.Preliminary evidence of the four previous bombs suggested similarities between the devices used, Austin's police chief, Brian Manley, told reporters on Monday.Authorities are also investigating whether the perpetrator, or perpetrators, had a "specific ideology behind" the bombings. Two explosions took place at homes owned by African-Americans, while one took place at the home of a Hispanic woman."We cannot rule out that hate crime is at the core of this; but we're not saying that that's the cause as well," Manley said.SEE ALSO:Police say a 'serial bomber' is on the loose in Texas ' here's why people are comparing them to the UnabomberJoin the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: Why Russia is so involved in the Syrian Civil War
