SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A suspicious suitcase found near the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank on Monday prompted police to reroute traffic and evacuate some nearby shops.
"We're still in the building," said Carol Eckert, a spokeswoman for the bank where about 1,200 people work in central San Francisco. "We've closed the front doors. We can still exit in other ways."
Police rerouted traffic and BART subway trains skipped the nearest station. A police spokesman said some stores on Market Street had been evacuated as an investigation continued.
