Posible bomb in large apartment building being investigated in Ottawa’s affluent Rockliffe Park

UPDATE: (From CFRA.Com)

Rideau Terrace has re-opened after a suspicious package investigation at 200 Rideau Terrace.

Police say a tube with wires going through it was found, but was deemed to be harmless after it was checked out with an X-Ray. The lower floors of the building were evacuated and the road closed between Springfield Road and Lambton Avenue were closed as a precaution.

Residents of the building say a body was found in one of the lower-level apartments around 10 a.m. Sunday, and residents of the lower floors were told to leave the building in the afternoon.

Monique Lalonde, a resident of the building, said she heard disturbing screams around 10 a.m.

“Somebody was hurting or found something that they didn’t like,” she said. “I was in the bathroom and I ran to the balcony to see what was going on. We didn’t see anything except the police.”

Police wouldn’t confirm whether or not there was a death in the building.

Police have blocked off Rideau Terr. from Springfield all the way down to Putnam and evacuated the bottom two floors of an apartment building bordering Ottawa’s elite neighborhood of Rockliffe Park.

A police woman on the scene said that there was a suspicious package found at around noon EST. At 2:00 the bomb squad was still there and more area had been roped off by police tape.
