KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Police blew up what they said was a suspicious package found near the federal courthouse in downtown Kansas City.
The package was found and reported Wednesday afternoon, police said in social media posts, and investigators called the department’s bomb squad shortly after 5:30 p.m. and evacuated the area.
The squad used a “controlled detonation” to disable the suspicious package around 7 p.m., causing a loud boom that could be heard throughout the downtown area. No one was injured.
Police did not described the package or said why it was considered suspicious.
