Hazmat teams responded to the Sunrise office of U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after a staffer found a suspicious package in the mailroom. Sunrise police said the envelope was reported to them around 3 p.m. Officials confirmed the congresswoman was not at the office, located at 777 Sawgrass Corporate Parkway, when the package was discovered.
Hazmat crews have since secured the envelope, which remains sealed. Police said there are no further threats to the area. The contents of the envelope have not been identified.
A U.S. Postal Service inspector is expected to file a report on the incident. Details are still developing, and the Sun State News will update this story as more information becomes available from officials.
