Several improvised explosive devices were found and disposed of, officials said.
Who was Jabbar? Jabbar, who officials confirmed was honorably discharged from the Army, had converted to Islam at some point, reported New York Times quoting Dwayne Marsh, who is married to Jabbar's ex-wife Nakedra Charrlle. Jabbar and Charrlle had two daughters, ages 15 and 20, Marsh said, adding that "the girls are a mess" after the attack. In recent months, he said, Jabbar had been acting erratically, "being all crazy, cutting his hair" after converting, Marsh said.

Court records from his first divorce, in 2012, list his employment as active duty with the U.S. Army and his residence at the time as Fort Bragg, in North Carolina.
In the video, Jabbar said that in his 10 years in the armed forces, he had worked as a human resources specialist and an information technology specialist. Criminal records in Texas show that Jabbar had previously been charged with minor infractions -- once in 2002 for a misdemeanor theft and once in 2005 for driving with an invalid license. Financial troubles after second marriage Records show that Jabbar was married twice, with his first marriage, to Charrlle, ended in 2012.
In the midst of a second divorce in January 2022, Jabbar wrote an email to his wife's lawyer in which he described financial problems. "I cannot afford the house payment," he wrote. "It is past due in excess of $27,000 and in danger of foreclosure if we delay settling the divorce," he wrote.
He said in the email that the business corporation he had formed, a real estate company, had lost more than $28,000 in the previous year and that he had taken on $16,000 in credit card debt in order to pay for lawyers and for "establishing a second residence." He suggested in the email that he and his wife sell the house and divide the proceeds evenly. But in a court document from August 2022, he said he worked at the accounting firm Deloitte and made about $120,000 a year.
