Oprah’s da Bomb (Scare)! (E! Online)
Los Angeles (E! Online) – No, that suspicious package found outside Oprah Winfrey's studio wasn't her lunch. Thankfully, it wasn't a bomb either.
At approximately 6:20 a.m. local time, a security guard at Harpo Productions Inc. in Chicago found a dark-colored backpack resting in a flowerbed just outside the studio. Ominous wires were said to be hanging from the bag.
Although the Bomb & Arson unit was called in, the studio was not evacuated. Nothing exploded and no one was hurt.
"The investigation is ongoing," Chicago Police News Affairs Officer JoAnn Taylor tells E! News. "There hasn't been a determination yet what was inside the bag. It was not a bomb."
A rep for Harpo tells E! News that Oprah was not in the building at the time of the incident and says, "We'd like to thank the Chicago Police Department for their rapid response."
