| Denver McCain office receives threats, white powder |
| 2008-08-21 |
| The Secret Service has confirmed they have evacuated the Centennial office for Sen. John McCain after a white powder was found in an envelope. The Secret Service says a staffer opened the envelope just after 3:15 p.m. at the office at 6334 S. Racine Circle near Arapahoe Road and Peoria Street. According to the Secret Service, the envelope also contained a letter with a threat against McCain. "Something that was written down that caused alarm," said Arapahoe County Bureau Chief Bruce Williams. Seven people at the office took themselves to Sky Ridge Medical Center to be checked out. Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department Haz-Mat is responding to the building and the employees were going through decontamination showers at the hospital. The road around the business is closed off, but Williams says no major traffic is being blocked. He also says there doesn't appear to be a danger to the environment around the building. "Whatever it is, it's contained within the building itself," said Williams. It is an ongoing investigation and the Secret Service says agents and officers are still responding, including the FBI. There was a second envelope with a white powder in it found in the McCain office in New Hampshire. |
