Update (1416 ET): While authorities won't confirm any suspect names connected with the Downtown Nashville RV bombing, earlier, CBS reported, "Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, is the person of interest."

CBS' David Begnaud <a href="https://twitter.com/DavidBegnaud/status/1342910613396348934?s=20">tweeted</a> moments ago that "federal agents are at Warner's address in the Nashville area, right now."

He noted that "investigators believe the explosion was an intentional act. They are speculating that human life was not the prime target as the explosion occurred on a Christmas morning."

"One theory investigators are looking at, regarding the Nashville Christmas Day explosion, is the possibility that AT&amp;T may have been the target or some other building or infrastructure in the area of the explosion," Begnaud said.

Nashville Police <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/powerful-explosion-rocks-downtown-nashville">released</a> a photo Friday afternoon of the recreational vehicle involved in the bombing.

The recreational vehicle was eventually parked outside an AT&amp;T transmission building before it exploded.

On Saturday, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee requested an emergency declaration from President Trump after the explosion devastated an entire city block. 

<blockquote>
"The severity and magnitude of the current situation are such that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and affected local governments," said Lee in a statement.
</blockquote>

Lee toured the incident area, which resembled a warzone. He called damage "shocking" and a "miracle" that no one was killed.
