SACRAMENTO, Calif. _ The California Democratic Party headquarters in downtown Sacramento has been evacuated after the office received a suspicious package, a party official said.
"Earlier today CDP headquarters received a suspicious package in the mail, which we reported to law enforcement out of an abundance of caution," the party wrote on Twitter. "We have evactued (sic) our headquarters building as a saftey (sic) precaution, and law enforcement is presently addressing the situation."
The Sacramento Police Department, the FBI, U.S. postal inspectors and the Sacramento Fire Department were on the scene of the party headquarters on Ninth Street on Wednesday afternoon. Ninth Street was closed between R and S streets.
It was unclear when the package was discovered.
A package containing a bomb addressed to U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., was discovered at a Sacramento post office last week and federal authorities said it was part of a nationwide spree of bombs allegedly sent to Democrats and CNN.
