Charlotte Police Find Suspicious Package at Headquarters

Sean Rayford/Getty Images(CHARLOTTE, N.C.) — A suspicious package was found at the headquarters of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Tuesday — days after a black man was killed by police, sparking violent protests.

Police said an employee in the mail room noticed the package and bomb-sniffing dogs were brought in to investigate.

According to Capt. Mike Campagna, the bomb squad removed the package using a robot and was trying to determine if it was dangerous.

No threat accompanied the package.

Further information was not immediately available.

Keith Lamont Scott was shot and killed by police at an apartment complex on Sept. 20.
