Bomb Scare, Suspicious Package Near Near North Side Planned Parenthood

Was someone sending a message?

Chicago Breaking News is reporting that a suspicious suitcase was found on the corner of Division and LaSalle Streets, on Chicago's Near North Side.

But why didn't they state the obvious? Which is, the package was found in front of the Planned Parenthood at 1200 N. La Salle Dr.? That information, at least to me, makes this suspicious suitcase, even more suspicious.

The package was discovered around 5 p.m., and hours later, way past 9 p.m., the Bomb and Arson Unit were still on the scene. Unless it took them 4 hours to evacuate the area, there must have been something very alarming about this package.

  1. I live at the La Salle Planned Parenthood high-rise. The officer who was positioned outside told me that the bomb dog did not hit on the suitcase across from planned parenthood, but he did react to the suitcase that was found a block to the south. I don't know why there is no media coverage on this incident, as it lasted for over 5 hours. Also, I am not pro-life, but Planned Parenthood should be forced to purchase more cameras that record everything that happens within an eyesight of their building. It is ridiculous that we all have to suffer because of how easy it is to leave something near the building, without being seen.

  2. The media is a strange creature. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for their method of picking and choosing which stories get told, and what information is shared.

    I appreciate you sharing your knowledge of what happened.
