ghost gun investigation<\/a> when a suspicious package was discovered, police sources said.<\/p>\nThe building was temporarily evacuated.<\/p>\n
The NYPD confirmed that its Bomb Squad was called in to x-ray the package and determined the device, said to be “cylindrical,” was consistent with a pipe bomb and believed it to be “explosive in nature,” police sources added.<\/p>\n
The device was to be removed from the home and taken to Rodman’s Neck in the Bronx, site of the NYPD’s Tactical Training Center, for further examination and testing.<\/p>\n
One person was taken into custody, with charges pending.<\/p>\n
Later Wednesday afternoon, investigators were seen removing evidence bags from the building.<\/p>\n
“It was kind of unnerving for everybody”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Police sources said nothing at this point suggests the incident was part of an active terror plot or part of a bigger terror investigation.<\/p>\n
“There were so many police cars, Homeland Security people there. It was kind of unnerving for everybody,” resident David Holstein said. “It was very shocking. I’ve been here for many years and it was the first time anything like that ever happened. I didn’t know if it was terrorism or was it something else. I really didn’t know what to think.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
One resident arriving home was shocked to learn about the suspicious device. <\/p>\n
“It is worrisome, but in this day and age … anything [can happen] anywhere,” one resident said. “Right now, I’m just trying to process what you told me.”<\/p>\n
