A scary incident for workers at a Four State County building when a possible explosive is received in the mail. Officials with the Pittsburg Police Department say at approximately 9:20 this morning,the Crawford County Judicial building received a suspicious package through the U.S. Mail. While Police Chief Mike Hall won`t say what made the package suspicious. He says he saw the package himself and agreed it looked questionable. That`s why the package is being treated as an explosive.
"We went and found a package taht looked suspicious that had been delivered through teh mail. It was taken away by a police officer to a safe location and now it`s awaiting the ATF and the bomb techs to come examine it,"said Chief Mike Hall. The alcohol, tobacco, and firearms agency was called from Pittsburg to examine the package. A determination has not yet been made on what is inside,or even if it is an explosive inside the package. Investigators say those details will likely not be released until tomorrow.
