The San Antonio Express-News building was evacuated a little after noon briefly following discovery of a suitcase leaning against a building an hour before.
San Antonio Police Sgt. Salvador Gonzales emphasized there was no reason to believe there was a bomb in the suitcase, but said bomb squad and fire crews evacuated the building as a precaution.
A passerby alerted the Express-News security about the suitcase around 11 a.m., Gonzales said.
The suitcase was leaning against the building on Avenue E and Fourth street near the press room.
Gonzales also emphasized that no threat had been called in today or recently to the Express-News.
Initially, only the employees in press room were evacuated, but later firefighters chose to evacuate everyone from building.
Firefighters and police have cordoned off Avenue E in front of the Express-News from Third Avenue all the way to McCullough.
The bomb squad, using a remote device blasted upon the suitcase. Nothing was inside.
Employees were let back into the building.
I hope there wasn't anything important in there!
Musta been all the love for the SOTU.
In front of the Express News building? That damn Johnny Blaze must have been on the job. Who knew that Asians are the next potential terrorists?
