FBI agents and Harris County Sheriff's Office deputies returned to the Houston home of Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the man accused of killing 14 people in New Orleans on New Year's Day. This comes after the initial raid discovered chemicals used for making explosives.
FBI agents and Harris County Sheriff's Office deputies were back at the Northwest Houston home of Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the man who ran over and killed 14 people in New Orleans on New Year's Day. A source tells Fox News the Harris County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad was collecting evidence inside Jabbar's home. This comes after the door to the home was left open most of the day on Thursday and people were recording video, some even going inside.
Sources also say chemicals typically used for making home-made explosives were discovered during the initial raid on New Year's Day. 'I was acting governor on New Year's Day. Governor Abbott was out of state. Our law enforcement in Texas was on top of it so fast. That house was under surveillance early,' says Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, who we caught up with not far from the accused killer's home. Jabbar's home was raided on New Year's Day after the FBI says the Houston man ran down and killed 14 people on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, but why not collect everything in that first seizure? A vehicle was towed from the property during the second search of Jabbar's home, a military veteran who has now terrorized our nation after once serving it. 'The radicalizing of someone who once fought for our country, and I saw this morning where he actually got a medal for his work in anti-terrorism, is a danger we face in this country...Sadly, there are people who have been radicalized just over the Internet. Forget going to meetings,' Patrick said. Even as the FBI and Harris County Sheriff's deputies were back at Jabbar's Houston home, Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick was a few miles away swearing in nearly the entire force of the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office. 'We had a little over 500 deputy constables here today'
