Three hospitalized due to suspicious package at Air Force base
A suspicious package at the postal center of an Illinois Air Force base caused the evacuation of several buildings and three people were taken to a hospital.
The building containing the postal center was evacuated, along with neighboring buildings, including the education building, a bowling alley, the information, ticket and tours office and the readiness center.
Three people were taken to the hospital as a result of possible chemical exposure. Thirteen people are being decontaminated on the scene as a precaution, according to a base spokesman.
