Bomb Threat Downtown
Police are dealing with a potential bomb threat.
It's happening near 4 Avenue and 1 Street S.W.
Police say a suspicious package, which is consistent with a pipe bomb, has been thrown underneath a loading dock.
The bomb squad has just arrived.
Some roads have been closed and police are diverting traffic.

They are blocking off a massive amount of traffic - if you are looking to head into or out of downtown, West would be the best option.

They are evacuating the first three floors of the building affected along with any building facing the object.

BP's loading docks are on 2nd St, not 4th Ave, so it must be Fifth Ave. Place it's affecting. There's a couple cop cars in front of BP but most of the action is by the +15 between THE International Hotel and FAP.
