Authorities responded Tuesday night to reports of an exploding package at an Austin, Tx., Goodwill.

Local law enforcement got a call around 7 p.m. about a package that exploded at a Goodwill store, they said, KXAN reported.

There was no explosion, but the store did receive a package containing an incendiary device, the Austin Police Department later said. They also do not believe that is connected to the other bombings occurring in the area.
