BREAKING: Explosive Device Sent To CNN’s NYC Bureau

We’re just seeing reports of ANOTHER suspicious device sent to the Time Warner Center in NYC, AKA CNN’s NYC bureau. It has been evacuated.

CNN’s New York City bureau was among the businesses evacuated Wednesday morning when a suspicious device was reportedly found in the Time Warner Center’s mailroom — that discovery coming amid the intercept of similar devices earlier in the day intended for former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The Time Warner Center building, located at 10 Columbus Circle, was evacuated just after 10 a.m. Wednesday, the NYPD said while urging people to avoid the area. At 11:11 a.m., an emergency alert system was sent out asking residents on West 58th Street between Columbus Circle and Eighth Avenue to “shelter in place immediately.”

CNN anchors Poppy Harlow and Jim Sciutto were reporting on air when the fire alarm went off. They continued to report from outside the building, showing crowds of people standing on the street as NYPD officers and the bomb squad arrived at the scene.
