Suspicious bag found at Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Studios

CHICAGO - Chicago Bomb and Arson detectives have determined that a suspicious package discovered outside Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Studios was harmless. Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Laura Kubiak says security personnel found a large dark backpack with wires hanging out of it early Friday in a flower bed near Harpo Studios.

Police were called to the scene at about 6:20 a.m. and blocked off nearby streets as bomb and arson detectives investigated. Police say the investigation using "remote diagnostics" determined there was no bomb, though they won't say exactly what was in the backpack. The investigation was completed and the streets reopened at about 9:19 a.m. The building was not evacuated.
