No Danger After Hazmat Called To Milwaukee Federal Courthouse: Reports

MILWAUKEE, WI — The discovery of a suspicious substance at the federal courthouse in Milwaukee Friday sparked a hazmat response from the Milwaukee Fire Department, according to multiple media reports.

A report by FOX6 News citing fire officials said a material, possibly a powder, was discovered in an envelope but responders found nothing dangerous and the building has since been deemed safe.

A drone and people in hazmat suits were spotted at the scene and four people were decontaminated outside the building and hospitalized as a precaution, according to TMJ4 News.
