Afterward, police saw what looked like possible explosives in the van. Fort Worth's bomb squad came out to check them out and they were improvised explosive devices.
Police also found a rifle and an AR-style pistol. They called in the FBI and ATF to assist with removing the devices, and the van was towed. Authorities are now working to get search warrants as investigators are working to figure out why the man parked the van in that neighborhood and what his intentions were.
