A threatening letter containing black powder prompted the evacuation of the DEA’s office in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood Thursday, the New York Daily News reports.
The DEA evacuated a floor of its offices and quarantined three employees after the letter was opened at 9:15 a.m.
Police, firefighters, medics and the FBI responded to the scene.
“Right now, the area is being investigated and analyzed,” Mulvey said Thursday afternoon. “The three individuals exposed look to be fine, but we are still evaluating.”
The DEA said the letter was not addressed to anyone in particular.
