Police and firefighters investigated a suspicious package left at the Greyhound bus station in downtown Dallas for more than four hours Friday night.

Authorities removed a suspicious package Friday night from the Greyhound bus station in downtown Dallas. Authorities had not determined the package's contents late Friday.

A security guard found the package shortly before 6 p.m. in the bay area where the buses pull in, Dallas police Lt. Jan Easterling said. Police think the package came in on a bus, but it was unclear which bus or whom it came from.

The large package was unmarked and contained a large cylinder. The package tested positive for ammonia, but authorities declined to provide additional details.

The package was removed from the site about 10:30 p.m.

Ive noticed a few of these sort of actions in Dallas lately.

Do the authorities know something I don't?

I don't know. This happened yesterday and I just happen to catch it on Fox News today. I did not hear anything last night about it, I guess because I was all wrapped up in the Bernie Kerik mess.

The way I understand it, there was an exceptional large box and some type of cylinder was found.
