Suspicious package sent to John Kerry’s office causes scare
BOSTON – A suspicious package was sent to Sen. John Kerry’s office at One Bowdin Square earlier today.
Over 15 emergency vehicles and two choppers surrounded the building, while nervous employees peer out of their office windows or returned to the building not knowing what was going on.
Brian Curly was standing outside of the entrance, clutching a bag of potato chips from Whole Foods.
Curly, who works in the building, says that he had just gone out for lunch.
“I have no idea what’s going on,” said Curly standing outside of the building, “I left the building to grab some lunch, that was it.”
He mentioned that while the building was not evacuated, he was outside because the elevators were shut down.
Kerry spokeswoman Brigid O’Rourke confirmed that the package was sent to Kerry’s office.
The package, filled with a liquid, was deemed to be not a threat.
There were about 10 protesters outside the building, who had come to protest the war in Afghanistan. Standing idly out of the way of the police officers, they held their picket signs and were asking “Why has Kerry abandoned us?”
Kerry is currently in traveling overseas.
