The suspect was identified partially through suspicious purchases on his Amazon account according to the above article. It is also reported that he was taken into custody on Monday at a bus stop. He was under surveillance since police did not want to attempt an arrest at his residence for fear of explosives.
At this point, it is not clear what the status is of the above-mentioned family members.
