Surveillance footage nearby identified a black Volvo sedan, allegedly registered to Palmer, driving erratically both before and after the incident, according to the feds.
Also, a photo of Palmer posted to a social media website shows him wearing a tan-colored tactical vest like the vest worn by the suspect in the surveillance video. Palmer also allegedly comments frequently on a social media website about religious matters and themes similar to those contained in the handwritten note.
Five days before the incident, Palmer allegedly purchased PVC pipe and matching PVC end cap — like the pipe and end cap used to construct the pipe bomb — from a home improvement retailer in Oklahoma.
