SAN DIEGO – A suspicious device found near the San Diego Union-Tribune building in downtown San Diego prompted a police investigation Wednesday morning.

The newspaper’s headquarters are located at 600 B Street and employees were evacuated around 8:30 a.m. Senator Kamala Harris has an office in the same building.

Reporter Kate Morrissey tweeted a picture of police tape and five boxes seen outside the building.
