(CNN)First there were the gunshots that startled residents awake in a downtown Nashville community on Christmas morning.
When people looked out their windows a little before dawn, they saw an old, white motor home parked on their street.
Then the sound of a woman's voice started emanating from the recreational vehicle, with a warning. There was a bomb that was going to go off in 15 minutes.
When the RV exploded, it shattered windows and sent flaming pieces of debris through the air, damaging several buildings.

The explosion remains a mystery, but Mayor John Cooper on Friday said the blast was caused by a "deliberate bomb."
Three civilians were hospitalized and are in stable condition, officials said.
