Suspicious package found at federal facility
A hazardous materials team was summoned Tuesday to a federal building in northwest Dallas to check out a suspicious package.
A Dallas hazardous materials team responded to the building on Stemmons Freeway. Carl Rusnok, spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said the envelope was found in the mail room at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offices in the 8100 block of Stemmons Freeway near Mockingbird Lane.
The envelope, which had been mailed from Turkey, contained several smaller envelopes that were all empty. Dallas Fire-Rescue officials discovered it was emitting about three times the normal amount of radiation.
FBI officials have taken over the investigation; officials said the radiation was low enough to not pose a threat to anyone nearby but high enough to not easily be explained.
Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Lt. Joel Lavender said crews would be analyzing the substance by color and density, among other characteristics, to determine its makeup.
