Authorities on Wednesday night found a suspicious package addressed to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) in a Los Angeles mail facility.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in a statement said it is similar to the other packages mailed to high-level Democratic figures this week. The other packages contained explosives.
Authorities have so far confirmed that five of the intercepted packages contained devices described as crude pipe bombs.
The ATF's Los Angeles field division and Los Angeles Police Department are currently investigating the package in Los Angeles.
"We are working closely with our federal law enforcement partners given the number of suspicious devices discovered across the nation," the LAPD tweeted on Wednesday evening.
Police intercepted another package addressed to Waters at a congressional mail facility in Maryland earlier in the day.
Waters issued a statement following the first incident in which she praised law enforcement for intercepting the package and condemned "any and all acts of violence and terror."
“I have been informed by U.S. Capitol Police that my Washington, DC office was the target of a suspicious package that has been referred to the FBI," Waters wrote in the statement. "I am appreciative of the law enforcement entities who intercepted the package and are investigating this matter. I unequivocally condemn any and all acts of violence and terror.”
Explosives were sent to the homes of the Clintons and the Obamas, as well as CNN headquarters in New York City.

“With the FBI investigating”, we can count on never learning the truth.
Maxine is REALLY special, she was sent TWO “bombs”.
One found in LA, the other in MD.
what what in this putative device, anyway?
something that explodes when it encounters 150 pounds of pure sh!t?
When the package saw her approaching, it ran out the door on its own and all the way to the police station begging for protection.

Wonder which of Wallace’s supporters sent her the fake bomb?
Oh man, stop, stop. I can’t take it any more. Stop. Hahahahaabwabwahhahahaaaaa.....stop, stop!
cold, so cold.....
For whatever reason, the old Bugs Bunny, Wiley Coyote cartoon series came to mind tonight ...with all the instant “bombs” and explosions that took place. It’s almost comical what is going on, with all the fake coordinated outrage and condemnation …
:)
From Mad Max’s perspective, an automated mouth gag would be the worst thing she could receive.

Maybe they were dumb enough to lick them.”
Exceppin those Honky Trump Republicans! Theys the ones weez be interuptin’ they dinners and throwin boulders through theys office windows! Dat be o.k. Now, I needs to be off to work on sucking tennis balls through garden hoses wif dis big-a$$ed mouth I be havin!
They are starting to segue to the "terror" theme. The bombs are all comical duds. They are supposed to be a terror attack, not an actual attack. Perp probably didn't want to risk his hands and eyesight with real explosives. Within a few days the meme will be that there was attempted intimidation encouraged by Trump.
Valentines. Someone wants to make sure their favorites get a “bloody shirt” to wave, too! :-D
LOL! Zaaackly!
A James Brown wig? Could it be ?
It was a rush order - she thought the first one was overdue and hollered at someone to get another one sent so she wasn’t left out...
