Pittsburgh Police Bomb Squad and Hazmat teams are in Downtown Pittsburgh Monday afternoon over concerns about a suspicious letter that arrived at the same building as U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick’s office. <\/p>\n

The package arrived at 310 Grant St. in the mail at approximately 1:30 p.m., according to Pittsburgh Public Safety. The 911 calls were made just before 3:30 p.m., according to Allegheny County Dispatchers.<\/p>\n

In a statement made to Pittsburgh’s Action News 4, a spokesperson for Dave McCormick said, “We received a piece of mail that caused us to reach out to local law enforcement and we have nothing else to say at this time. Our office remains open for business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 can see first responders on multiple blocks of Grant Street from 3rd St to Forbes Ave. They also saw multiple first responders put on hazmat suits and enter the building.<\/p>\n

According to Pittsburgh Public Safety officials, there is no public safety threat currently and no need for people to avoid the area. <\/p>\n
