St. Louis City Hall Evacuated After Three Suspicious Items Found
Emergency workers, including police and the bomb squad, were called out to the building about 7:30 a.m. Investigators were working to determine what was inside the suspicious items, including a container leaning against an outside gate. The mayor’s spokeswoman, Maggie Crane, said two cylinders and one bag were found. No one was injured.
Crane said there have been no threats. She said it is likely that whoever left the packages was caught on surveillance video.
The newest members of the Board of Aldermen were scheduled to be sworn in at 10 a.m. The ceremony was postponed. Police shutdown streets around the building and evacuated workers and visitors.
