SXSW Roots Bomb Threat; St. Joe's Student Missing In Bermuda; 1 Dead 2 Injured in W. Phila Shooting

A bomb threat forced The Roots set at SXSW in Texas on Saturday to be cancelled. The Austin Police department stated that they have arrested the man responsible for the threat. 26-year-old Trevor Ingram emailed a bomb threat, which led to officials having to cancel the "Bud Light x The Roots & Friends Jam" at the Fair Market event venue. Bud Light tweeted out stating due to security and safety reasons they had to cancel. The Roots drummer Questlove also tweeted out apologizing for having to cancel the show.

The abundance of caution is warranted. Several actual bombs have killed and injured people in Austin over the past several weeks. A package exploded at a 39-year-old man's home on March 2nd killing him. On March 12th, two more package bombs were delivered. One killed a 17-year-old and wounded his mother. The other injured a 75-year-old woman. On Sunday night, two more people were injured in an explosion. The reward has been raised to $115,000.

Police in Bermuda have now released a missing persons report for a 19-year-old St. Joseph's University Student. Matt Dombroski has been on the island as part of a rugby tour with the university's team. Dombroski was last seen on the island at The Dog House bar at around 12 am. He was expected to leave Bermuda on Sunday. Police are concerned about his current wellbeing. There is a $1,000 reward regarding any information on Dombroski's whereabouts.

UPDATE: The body of 19-year-old Matt Dombroski was found on Bermuda on Monday afternoon. The cause of death has not been determined. The investigation continues.

One person is dead and two others injured after a shooting occurred in West Philadelphia on Sunday. The shooting took place near 52nd and Market Streets just before 4:30 am. Police say that an argument broke out at Galaxy West and later moved outside onto the sidewalk, where the three victims were shot. One of the victims, 23-year-old Dominique Ogelsby was shot in the back; she was then taken to the hospital where she later died from her injuries. The two other victims, a 43-year-old man who was shot in the leg and a 65-year-old man who was shot in the arm, were taken to Presbyterian Hospital where they are listed in stable condition. Police are continuing an investigation into the shooting.
