On Monday, a package containing what officials described as a "homemade explosive substance" was discovered near the Arizona State Capitol in downtown Phoenix.
In response to the discovery, multiple buildings on the Capitol Mall were evacuated. This included the State Courts Building, which houses both the Arizona Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals.
According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the State Courts Building remains closed as sweeps are conducted. The agency also stated that the package would be removed for further investigation and subsequent disposal once the sweeps are complete.
The incident is currently under investigation.
