Lincoln authorities reopen Ninth Street after investigation into suspicious package
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Lincoln Police say a “suspicious package” outside of the Hall of Justice is safe.
Lincoln Fire & Rescue Battalion Chief Jim Bopp said Wednesday that someone brought a briefcase into the building, claiming that they were being scammed.
The package was taken out of the building and placed on Ninth Street while it was investigated.
After taking X-rays of the briefcase, authorities opened it up using a “water cannon shot,” Bopp said.
No explosives were found inside.
A part of Ninth Street was shut down during the investigation. All roads have since been reopened.
