KSCO Employees Hosed Down

Monday, September 25, 2006 5:30 PM --- 4 KSCO EMPLOYEES ARE BEING HOSED DOWN AS A PRECAUTION AFTER SOME WHITE POWDER WAS DISCOVERED IN MAIL ADDRESSED TO THE RADIO STATION. THE AREA AROUND THE STATION, INCLUDING THE PARKING LOT IN FRONT AND A SECTION OF PORTOLA DRIVE ARE BLOCKED OFF TO THE PUBLIC. CARS ARE BEING DETOURED AROUND THE AREA, AS HAZMAT INVESTIGATORS WAIT FOR IDENTIFICATION OF THE WHITE POWDER. IN THE EVENT IT PROVES TO BE ANTHRAX THE AREA COULD BE SEALED OFF INDEFINITELY. BUT OFFICERS ON THE SCENE SAY THE MOST LIKELY CONCLUSION TO THE AFTERNOON EVENT WILL BE A COMPLETE REOPENING OF THE AREA IN ABOUT HALF AN HOUR.
