Bomb threat reported at California newspaper office

Source: The Hill

Employees at a California newspaper were reportedly evacuated from their building on Thursday because of a bomb threat.

The Sacramento Bee reported that a suspicious package was discovered outside the entrance of its main office, according to the Sacramento Police Department.

Building supervisor Mark Walters told The Bee that a security guard had found the package and proceeded to call the police. Employees were then told to evacuate the building.

Sacramento Bee Executive Editor Lauren Gustus also sent an email to employees telling them not to come to the office.

The Bee notes that a police department’s bomb squad was en route to the building to "clear" the package.

Bomb scare at The Sacramento Bee ends without incident

A bomb scare at The Sacramento Bee’s midtown building Thursday morning was resolved without incident shortly after 9 a.m.

The building had been evacuated early Thursday morning because of a suspicious bag left by the front door.

<snip>

The Sacramento Police Department’s explosive ordinance disposal unit arrived around 8:30 a.m. to “clear” the package. After being examined by a bomb squad officer in protective gear, it was determined not to be an explosive device at about 9:15 a.m.


“No explosives, nothing suspicious,” said Sacramento Police Department spokesman Det. Eddie Macaulay. He declined to say what was in the bag, but said the investigation would be ongoing.

Minutes later, Bee employees were allowed to enter the building.

<snip>

The bag was dropped off by a man on a bicycle between 5:30 and 6 a.m., according to building staff. After responding to the call and examining the scene, police decided to bring in the department’s bomb squad.
