Just want to tell you in these times, we have to unify. We have to come together. And send one very clear strong unmistakable message that acts or threats of Political Violence have no place of any kind in the United States. Shepard the targets include bill and hillarys home in chappaqua, a few miles from the clintons, the home of billionaire george soros, a letter to Maxine Waters and in south florida, the office of the former Democratic National Committee Chair woman, Debbie Wassermanschultz. In new york city, a package sent to the Timewarner Center, home of cnn. Cnn said it was addressed to john brennan, that made appearances on the channel but a contributor to nbc news and msnbc. A Police Source shared this picture. Its made to brennan. His name is spelled incorrectly and the returned a dress also misspelled from the offices of wassermanschultz. The Associated Press reports that the package had accrued pipe bomb. This morning people at cnn were forced to evacuate during a news cast. Excuse me. That sounds like a fire alarm. Were going to jump in. Theres a fire alarm here. Well see what the latest is here. Well be right back. Shepard and then they took it to the streets. They continued their broadcast there on the streets around Timewarner Center. New york citys mayor says theres no question this was an act of terror. What we saw here today was an effort to terrorize. Its clearly an act of terror attempting to undermine our free press, leaders of this country through acts of violence. Shepard the white house calling these terrorizing acts indespicable. Who sent them is the next question. We have team fox coverage beginning with Catherine Herridge live in washington. Catherine . In the last hour, Law Enforcement officials told fox news that the devices were sent by a single individual or single group, this is based on forensics as well as the fact that were talking about multiple devices over 72 hours. What is key, theres a number of very striking similarities with the packaging of the devices. So that same sort of excessive postage, that sort of excessive yellow packaging, the crude address on the package sent to cnn there. Also you can see that the address is somewhat shifted to one side. Theyre all telltale signs of a suspicious device and shouldnt be opened. Im also told that the george soros package is similar in packaging and descriptions. So its being considered in this same group as by the working theory, an individual or a single group, shep. Shepard what have authorities said stands out about these, if anything . Well, i spoke with the source that deals directly with the explosive part of this investigation. They said to me that its really pretty unusual to see pipe bombs sent in envelopes. Thats not standard. Theres no obvious way to have the initiation forward the device. They thought this was designed to send a message and terrorize people. Typically they said they see these initiations with these musical breathing cards. They come through the mail, you open it up and thats the trigger for the detonator. They drew my attention for the postage. They said all of the packages used the multiple american flags to do the postage. They did not use any of those other forever stamps that many of us use when we send things by snail mail. Thats what stood out to them from an investigative point of view. Shepard and you learned more about this package that went to florida. Yes. One suspect package went to florida, not two. I was told by a federal Law Enforcement official that the package was sent to eric holder and it was not delivered to the address. It was then sent to the returned a dress, which was Debbie Wassermanschultzs office in florida. One redirected, not too. Shepard Catherine Herridge in washington. Now to David Lee Miller in new york city at the Timewarner Center on Columbus Circle on manhattans Upper West Side. David lee . Hi, shepard. Its been now more than four hours since the Timewarner Center was evacuated. You can take a look over my shoulder. And incredibly, part of the building has reopened. You can see the shoppers entering the building behind me. For the most part, going about business as usual. The portion that houses cnn, the president of cnn sent out a message a short time ago telling employees that in an abundance of caution, they are inside there now continuing their investigation looking for what might be additional packages or anything that could be harmful. Now, as to what was found, we heard from the Police Commissioner from the city of new york a few hours ago, james oneal. He said that in addition to this pipe bombtype device that was addressed to john brennan, the former cia director who regularly appeared on cnn, that was also an envelope in that package containing a white powder. The power itself is now being examined. Just down the street from where i am standing, shepard, theres a massive vehicle from the new York City Department of environmental protection. They are on the scene here making sure that no one is hurt. But this is still very much an ongoing crime scene. 58th street, on the west side of new york city at this hour, wednesday afternoon remains still shut down. Shepard . Shepard the package with postage and dropped off by a courier in the mail room. Theres alerts at other cnn newsrooms out of an abundance of caution. Thats right. Thats the phrase that weve heard, an abundance of caution. Mayor de blasio said there was no specific credible threat anywhere else in the city, but he did say there was going to be an increase in Police Presence and that there was going to be more police specifically at locations such as media facilities as well as transit hubs. Listen to what new yorks Governor Andrew Cuomo had to say about this recent threat. Circumstance of being who we are and where we are. We are in new york. Were an International Icon and an international target. Terrorism only works if you let it work. What they are trying to do is scare us. Shepard david lee interrupting because we did have live pictures coming out of sunrise, florida. Remember, the eric holder package didnt go to eric holder because there was a bad address on it. The package went back to Debbie Wassermanschultzs offices in florida to the north of miami, this is a live picture from our local stations helicopter because were now told theres another suspicious package at the offices of Debbie Wassermanschultz. Is it related . Is this, you know, on the acting on the side of caution . We dont have details except to say authorities are investigating another suspicious package at the offices of Debbie Wassermanschultz. Exactly what reason we dont have details on it. The chopper was over it and waiting for new information from our bureau in miami. We have our own office theres and plus we have a local station, the fox station there, wsvn 7. Were well covered in south florida. Some pictures coming from outside Debbie Wassermanschultzs office. This is, you know doesnt give you a lot. Thats where it is. You can imagine tensions are high. Theres great news within this. Nobody has been hurt. Sometimes with these crude devices, officials tell us, the thing youre most afraid of, in transition somebody will handle that thing and explode in their hands in a mail facility somewhere, in the back of a truck somewhere an assistant or a mail sorting personnel. That didnt happen in any cases. Doesnt mean that the devices were so sophisticated that they wouldnt go off in transit . The early suggestion is no. Were they such that they might not have detonated under any circumstances . Well have to wait on that. On all of the addressees, regular target of the political right. That tells us nothing about the sender. Just one of the facts that is long the way. Phil keating is there on scene in sunrise, florida. Phil, the word is, they believe theres a second suspicious package there. Is that right . Yes, the city of aventura in dade county confirming now a suspicious package was discovered in the City Government building of aventura. Call it a coincidence, Debbie Wassermanschultzs congressional office, her main one, is behind med in sunrise. Inside that gray building. She also has a smaller Satellite Office at that same building in aventura at the aventura government building. It has been evacuated at this point. Police are on the scene and they are assessing the seriousness of this suspicious package discovered by someone there. As for the package that was discovered here about 10 30 a. M. As Catherine Herridge pointed out, we believe that was addressed to former a. G. Eric holder, returned a dress was clearly mischievously her address. The address returned here and thats when it was discovered inside the building where we believe the package remains. We havent seen any of the bomb squad go out. We were told by sunrise p. D. That they were trying to make it safe. That may involve a detonation. We were to be forewarned that you heard something that sounded like an explosion, that what it might be at the bomb truck in the back of the building that belongs to the sheriffs office. They did a couple hours ago send in the bomb tech guy in this padded suit. Discovered by an employee. The congresswoman in her sixth term. Shes up for reelection nor a seventh term. She was not at the office this morning because co incidentally Hillary Clinton is campaigning in south florida yesterday and today. Today shes in coral gables or was at high noon with former hhs secretary Donna Shalala that was the university of miami president for 14 years and now running for congress. So that was a publicly attended fund raiser raising money for shalala who is in a very tight race for Congress Seat that democrats that want to flip. Wassermanschultz was going to be there as well. She did not show up because this all happened about an hour before she was supposed to be at that luncheon. So clearly the congresswoman got wind of this, cancelled her plans to go with Hillary Clinton and dana shalala for that fund raiser. We have not heard from her since. Shepard phil keating on scene in sunrise. Back to him with more. Team fox coverage continues in chappaqua, new york home hoff bill and Hillary Clinton.

Shepard the feds and local Police Investigate suspicious packages with pipe bombs sent to high profile people in locations from florida to new york, different locations around the United States and washington area. Hillary clinton commenting on the package sent to her and bill clintons home in chappaqua, 30 miles northeast of the city. Were fine thanks to the men and women of the secret service that intercepted the package addressed to us long before it made its way to our home. Every day we are grateful for their service and commitment and obviously never more than today. Shepard the former first lady and secretary of state speaking at a Campaign Event mentioned in florida for Donna Shalala, the democrat running for congress. Bryan llenas live outside the clinton home in chappaqua. Bryan, this package never made it anywhere near the home, right . Thats right. The secret service said the package never made it to the clinton home or were they at risk of receiving it. Thats because the device was stopped by a train technician at an offside facility where they screen the mail before it arrives here at the chappaqua home. Governor cuomo said he personally sent officers to the clinton home at 4 30 to check that they were okay. This happened last night. President bill clinton was at home during the time. Hillary clinton has been campaigning in florida as you mentioned. This is more of what she said about the threat. It is a troubling time, isnt it . Its a time of deep divisions, and we have to do everything we can to bring our country together. We also have to elect candidates that will try to do the same. Former president bill clinton tweeting thank you to the secret service and Law Enforcement that responded to the incidents. They worked tirelessly to keep our country and communities safe. Im forever grateful for their effort. The nypd has increased security in manhattan. Weve seen more Police Presence here and already very secure, shep. They own the entire culdesac here in chappaqua. Theres an eight foot fence around, security detail posts outside of the home and the home next door they own as well. Shepard 20 minutes from there, the soros home in bedford, new york. The feds said they got a similar package. Thats right. George soros, the billionaire donor has a home in katonah, new york. They received a package with the same number of postage stamps as the same package sent to the clintons, the obamas and cnn in new york. Theyre looking at video to see whether or not this package was delivered by him, shep. Shepard that seems to be the working theory, didnt go to the mail but dropped off there. Coverage continues in just a moment. Well hear from the former member of the joint Terrorism Task force in new york city. Thats next. This is stonington, maine, a town where almost half the population is selfemployed. Lobster fisherman is the lifeblood of this town. By 2030, half of america may take after stonington, selfemployed and without employer benefits. We havent had any sort of benefit plans and were trying to figure that out now. If i had had a little advice back then, id be in a different boat today, for sure. Plan your Financial Life with prudential. Bring your challenges. This is not a screensaver. Game. This is the destruction of a cancer cell by the bodys own immune system, thanks to medicine that didnt exist until now. And today can save your life. Hey guys. Today were here to talk about trucks. I love trucks. What the heck is that . whoa what truck brand comes from the family of the most dependable, longestlasting fullsize pickups on the road . I think its the chevy. Ford. Is it ford . Nope, its not ford. I think its ram. Is it ram . Not ram. Thats a chevy its chevy thats right. From the family of the most dependable, longestlasting fullsize pickups on the road. Gorgeous. Chevy hit it out of the ballpark with these. Im ready to crush ap english. Im ready to do what no one on my block has done before. Forget that. What no one in the world has done before. All i need access, tools, connections. Highspeed connections. Is the world ready for me . Through internet essentials, comcast has connected more than sixmillion lowincome people to lowcost, highspeed internet at home. Im trying to do some homework here. So theyre ready for anything. Shepard a quick update on the new package in aventura, florida. Phil keating said they found another device or one theyre checking at least in aventura, which is in northern miamidade county. They just sent out a notice. Police said were checking this out of caution. Were checking into it and let you know. We can expect to see this sort of thing. A lot of checking on a lot of places to make sure that everybody is safe. Lets go to jeffery ringold now with the joint Terrorism Task force here in new york city and now the director of the suffon group, which is a big security firm. What do you make of this . The devices looked amateurish. Listening to the reports, everything coming out, its almost too simple to follow. All the bombs look the same, the mailing package appears to be the same. Looks like one person or one group as the Law Enforcement have said. Shepard more like a screw loose person than a professional. Id say the person doing this is not a professional bomb maker, yeah. Shepard the effect of this sort of thing is one with which youve been dealing with for years and years. Right. Its the whole idea of terror. If you can upset peoples lives, if you can instill terror and upset their daily routine, the terrorists win. Weve seen lots of tactics here in new york where a terrorist used a car or other rudimentary ieds and causes problems. I have to say, the respond of the nypd has been tremendous. Theyre going to get all the evidence they need and make the city safe. As they do that, they will determine who is doing this and prosecute them. Shepard a couple former president s. Weve seen stuff through the mail that is bad before. But sending something to two former president s, i dont have recollection of Something Like this. Nor do i. But also, these president s arent opening their own mail. Theres enough security around these former Public Officials that they themselves are safe, families are safe. Shepard and the officers of Debbie Wassermanschultz. Somebody has to touch the mail. Had someone this isnt over. We dont know if theres more packages or not. Had somebody been injured here, we have a new game. Right. The focus right now in addition to finding out who is doing it, are there more bombs out there. Everybody seems to be concentrated in the northeast except the one package in florida. Tomorrow you might wake up and find packages to other leading democrats. Shepard the tie, a couple ways you can look at these people. Theyre all democrats, cia director not really a political position. All democrats, all targets of the political right in the middle of this polarized world. But not to say someone against them is the perpetrator. Those are items to which you look at. Those are clues that they have to follow. They know people making vocal statements against government or certain individuals. That might be where the investigation starts. The investigation is not going to be politically motivated. Its following the evidence, following the leads. Shepard i wonder how many billionaires dont have a camera on their mailbox. Were led to believe now, multiple services, the package that went to george soros house was dropped off by hand. So chances of there being some sort of recording of that i dont know it would be weird not to have i would think with the amount of surveillance in our every day lice, somebody would have picked up something somewhere. You remember the austin bombings in march. That person placed packages on foot stools and they went off until he used fed ex. Thats where the fbi identified him and apprehended him. Shepard if you can get close to the person, find out if theres anything else out there and what his intention was. Absolutely. In any terrorist investigation, you have the person that commits the act but then you look at the person that helped facilitate it, people that may have helped fund it and other people that might be of like mind to do attacks. So you have to find out shepard i was going to ask you about that. How concerned now are there that copycats will arrive . Thats always a possibility. Its really how much publicity a person gets in the media. The media treats him as a criminal, as which they are, hopefully that will deter other people from trying to follow. Shepard good to talk to you. Thank you. Shepard police in florida i mentioned checking the second package at a Satellite Office of congresswoman debbie wassermanschul wassermanschultz. Phil keating is there. I saw the treat from aventura police. Yeah, they are really using an extreme case of precaution with this second piece of mail that arrived at congresswoman Debbie Wassermanschultzs Satellite Office. They did evacuate the building within the past hour. Theyre being extremely delicate with this. May or may not be similar to all of the other packages that went out around the horn the past couple days, arrives at soros house and several today. The one that arrived here around 10 30 a. M. At her main office in sunrise, we believe that was addressed to former attorney general under the Obama Administration eric holder. The address on the recipient was incorrect. So it was returned to sender. Whoever was mailing out the devices apparently was on multiple envelopes and packages putting Debbie Wassermanschultzs address as the return office so that package showed up here this morning at one of her other employees noticed it inside, called 911. That was evacuated multiple buildings in the office park have been evacuated. Like i said, the city of aventura still remains evacuated as everybody around the country especially in government offices really being extra cautious after what they have seen for several hours now. Shepard phil keating live in south florida. Thanks. The president condemning the suspicious packages sent to bigname democrats and cnn and calling for american to unify. Well hear from a man that served and protected the clintons and the obamas as a secret Service Agent and see how the feds are tracking down the person responsible. Ay tuned.

Shepard President Trump said we have to unify. He condemned the sender of the suspicious packages. The white house calling whoever sent the packages cowards. John roberts is live on the north lawn. Hi, john. Good afternoon to you. When you look at the list of people to whom these packages were addressed, Hillary Clinton, barack obama, george soros, eric holder, Maxine Waters and cnn, those are some of the president s fiercest political rivals and critics. When the president responded to this earlier this afternoon, he was very, very careful to make sure that he stayed miles away from the politics that might be behind us. Listen here. The safety of the American People is my highest and absolute priority. I have just concluded a briefing with the fbi, department of justice, department of Homeland Security and a u. S. Secret service. As we speak, the packages are being inspected by top explosive experts and a major federal investigation is now underway. The full weight of our government is being deployed to conduct this investigation and bring those responsible for these despicable acts to justice. We will spare no resources or expense in this effort. The president made the remarks at an east room event to make the progress on the war of opiates. Its a topic on the first lady. She opened the ceremony in the east room and she had something to say herself about these mailings. Listen here. We cannot tolerate those cowardly attacks. I strongly condemn those that choose violence. 13 days until americans go to the polls in the midterm elections. The rhetoric has been very highly charged if not white hot in some circumstances. But earlier today, speaking in the east room at the white house, the president urged people to set aside their political differences and Work Together to combat Political Violence. Listen here. I just want to tell you that in these times, we have to unify. We have to come together. Send one very clear strong unmistakable message that acts or threats of Political Violence of any kind have no place in the United States of america. [applause] so the president there calling for political calmty. We dont know how long that will lat. The president is headed for wisconsin, a very closely contested state in these midterm elections to make his best case for reelecting scott walker and other republicans in the state of wisconsin. Well see how long this tonedone rhetoric lasts. Shepard thanks, john roberts. Just in, a statement from Maxine Waters. Shes one of those democrats targeted today. Quoting now from her statement. This is her statement. Ive been informed that my washington d. C. Office was a target of a suspicious package that has been referred to the fbi. Im appreciative of the Law Enforcement. I condemn any and all acts of violence and terror. That from Maxine Waters. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle speaking out about the senders of these packages. Mike emanuel is live up on capitol hill. Congressional offices also getting advice hahn how to handle the mail. Thats right. Senate staffers saying under no circumstances should anyone ever bring unopened mail or packages outside the senate into their offices. Every staffer received a reminder of the mail security guidelines obtained by fox. Remain calm, do not open mail any further, show to others or empty contents. Notified local authorities by calling 911. Do not leave the office or let anyone enter the area. Move as far away as possible from the letter or package. Lawmakers warning those behind these attacks will be held accountab accountable. Its an attack on america, terrorism. Whoever is behind this, even though our politics because were a free people, if you attack one of us, you attacked all of us. Youll hear from us on it. Another gop senator described the situation as frightening, shep. Shepard mike, what are you hearing from democrats . Many sources have directed me to u. S. Capitol police which has been very quiet so far. The names of two democrat congressmen have appeared on these suspicious packages, Debbie Wassermanschultz of florida and Maxine Waters of california. So some lawmakers may be waiting to see how widespread the problem is before commenting. Gerald nadler that represented the area around the Timewarner Center in new york city tweeted the multiple terror threats on the Upper West Side must be condemned and the perpetrators brought to justice. Violence has no place in our society. My office is being briefed and were monitoring the situation closely. Members of both Political Parties are praising Law Enforcement for keeping them safe. Shepard thanks, mike emanuel. Theres breaking news on wall street. The bad news turns to the markets. The nasdaq has turned negative i should say the nasdaq has touched its lowest level since may 4 and is now in correction territory. We show the cover of the wall street journal there. You can see the black area, 7173 for the nasdaq. If it closes at that level, well be well into correction territory. This is a correction at the close of the markets today. The dow is off significantly as well at the moment. Down 408. Its been down about 450. The lowest level since july 3. The dow has turned negative for the year, 2018. And then theres the s p 500, which is falling into its lowest level since may 9. The s p 500 now in correction territory as well.

Lets go to the former secret Service Agent that protected agents clinton, bush 43 and the bombs while they were in the white house. Charles marino is from opsec alliance partners, a Global Security firm. Thanks for coming. Thanks, shepard. Shepard i dont recall you might, if such a thing has existed, targeting of multiple president s in such a way. Do you . I can tell you that what youre seeing today, shepard, is an example of success regarding the mail screening process that is employed by the secret service and the Capitol Police for those that they safeguard. I can tell you this was not created just last year in response to a security event. This is something that has been thought habit for a long time. Its opinion in place for such threats as these. They have highly trained men and women that staff those facilities and very welltrained to identify objects such as these pipe bombs and make sure they dont reach their final destination. I cant comment specifically on the past times that this may or may not have happened. What i can say is the secret service and other federal agencies are wellequipped to detect and deter from these types of threats. Shepard seems like efforts of this kind stepped up after the anthrax attacks in new york, after the attacks of 911. Our building was one of them and the New York Post and others in the city. When the anthrax attacks happened, every win changed the way mail was sorted. Yeah. Thats a good idea. Just as Security Policy and procedures evolve, so do the tactics of those that want to do people harm. We always have to stay a step ahead. After the attacks of 911, we saw in fact the mail system try to be exposed to deliver anthrax. So as security professionals, its or Due Diligence to respond to that exploitation, if you will, of transit, of the mail system and respond to that by effectively putting in procedures and policies to mitigate that threat. The u. S. Postal services and other ago i haves have done that. Shepard thanks, sir. Thank you. Shepard breaking news from wall street. The dow has gone below 500 and off 2 . The dow is negative for the year. Lots of factors in todays downward dive. 11 minutes left. Neil cavuto with context and perspective the next hour. More on foxs top story. New York City Police have taken the suspicious package found at cnns headquarters or at least the new york bureau in columbus, circle to a special facility in the bronx. Thats where nypd officers bring explosive devices to detonate them. Youve been there, rick leventhal. I have. Its in the bronx. They have gun ranges there and a mock urban village. They do shoot and dont shoot drills. They bring explosive devices there for investigation and for detonation. We saw one of the vehicles transporting that device earlier today. The total containment vehicle. This is standard procedure. If theres a device, they put it in the big drum on the back to make sure if it blows up it doesnt hurt any within. They bring to it that facility. They bring it to an area known as the pit on the southern most point. They bring illegal fireworks and other ordinances and blow them up there. Nine out of ten times the device isnt an explosive. In this case, they didnt want to blow up this device. Because its chocked full of evidence and tell them whether this guy was a professional, amateur, military training and really eventually who he is. Shepard hopefully theyre close to that now. I wouldnt be surprised. Thanks, rick. The feds have said they have seen an increase in package bombs recently and a couple reasons for that. Thats next. High Blood Pressure and cholesterol. But they might not be enough to protect my heart. Adding bayer aspirin can further reduce the risk of another heart attack. Because my Second Chance matters.
