alarmed. we haven t heard anything since 2:00. we have seen that robot exit. we ve seen official goes in and out. members of law enforcement, the fbi telling us that fbi agents are in this building. they re trying to render this package safe. local authorities telling us that in the process of rendering this package safe, chris, is where we could hear some kind of noise. again, they re not saying if they re going to detonate it or not. the other tidbit of information they did give us is that this morning when that evacuation order went out, the congresswoman was not in this building. all of the buildings that you see behind me, chris, they ve all been evacuated under just precautionary measures because they don t know exactly or at least not telling us, chris, exactly what that package is. all right, appreciate it, rosa. thank you very much. let us know if we have information we need to get to and we ll come back to you
they told us just after 2:00 p.m. that perhaps we might hear a quote, unquote, noise, but we shouldn t be alarmed, because the fbi was diligently working inside this building to deem this package safe. now we, of course, followed up and asked if the fbi was going to detonate this package inside the building. they would not answer that question. but they did tell us that the fbi actively working in this building to, quote, deem that package safe. a few other notes they did mention. the fbi is the lead investigator, is the lead investigating agency. they are working to deem that package safe. and then that package will be transported over to the fbi office. and then one final note, jake. from what we understand, not only that office building has been evacuated, but all of the other office buildings around me have been evacuated as a precautionary measure, because of this potential package. and then finally, we know that the congresswoman was not inside the building when this
clinton, obama, and soros packages. okay. now, the picture we re showing people live is outside of cnn. what we ve been told there is the device the potential device or the suspicious package that was found there this morning is very similar, if not exactly similar to what was found in the other three packages, the clinton, obama, soros packages. at this point it s being treated as an explosive device. we don t know whether it is actually an explosive device. the image that we ve been showing on screen i could see in the background the bomb squad s containment vessel is there. they would have the ability to, if they render that package safe, they have the ability to take that package, put it inside of that, and then they ll take it to the facility in the bronx. they can actually explode it there, but inside that vessel they can keep all the evidence. this is standard procedure that you re seeing with the nypd bomb squad right now. i m not detailing everything that s going on there.
