Police Investigating Suspicious Package at Sunrise Office of Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Source: NBC

Police confirmed they're investigating a possible suspicious package at the Sunrise offices of Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz Wednesday, on the same day that suspicious packages were addressed to Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama.

Sunrise Police said they responded to the address of the office of the Democratic rep for Florida's 23rd congressional district. No other information was immediately known.

The news comes as two "potential explosive devices" addressed to Clinton and Obama were intercepted by the U.S. Secret Service. Meanwhile, another suspicious package forced an evacuation of CNN offices at the Time Warner Center in New York Wednesday morning.

Check back with NBC 6 for updates.

that the sender is from Florida.
The tell is the package going to national figures and one local.
Just a guess.

I expect others may have gotten or may get unrelated "suspicious packages" and it rarely makes the news... But in this case, it's all in the timing when the media will try to lump them all together.

all over the place among media and politcos... So although I think some were coordinated, the rest are copycat/vendetta stuff.
