Downtown Louisville is blocked off after suspicious package of white cylinders with wires is found at bus stop
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Five white cylinders with wires were found at a Louisville, Kentucky, bus stop around 8am on Friday

  • Jefferson Street between Third and Sixth streets was shut down as a bomb squad investigated and removed the suspicious package

  • The bomb squad was seen releasing a robot from an armored vehicle, which then rolled toward the bus stop and placed the device into a black bin

  • All people confined within the area were asked to shelter in place by police until about 1.30pm.

  • All traffic has resumed in the area with the exception of vehicle traffic on Jefferson between 4th to 5th streets

  • The bus stop is located near City Hall and Metro Hall and it is unclear who discovered the suspicious package
A test? Local news station WHAS11 (linked by the Daily Mail article as a source) has video and a photo of the thing, and it looks like a cartoon bomb, not something serious.
