The New York Police Department is responding to reports of a suspicious package at the Time Warner Center, where CNN is based. Jim Sciutto and Poppy Harlow, co-hosts of Newsroom, were reporting on other suspicious packages sent to former President Barack Obama and the Clintons when the building’s fire alarm sounded, signaling an evacuation was underway.
