Time Warner building evacuated after reports of 'suspicious explosive package'

The Time Warner Building in New York City was evacuated on Wednesday morning after a suspicious package that had been mailed was found in the CNN mail room, New York police and CNN said.

It was not immediately known whether the package found in the CNN mail room was similar to suspicious packages sent to the White House, and the homes of former President Barack Obama and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

The NYPD said the package to CNN was reported to police at 9:53 a.m. local time on Wednesday.
