EVG reader Sheila Meyer shares these photos from Third Avenue and 13th Street … where the NYPD has blocked off the west intersection of 13th Street… the Bomb Squad is on the scene…No word just yet what is happening here…Updated 3:56From the scene: “It was nothing! An empty suitcase someone put out for garbage.”And thanks to the reader in the comments who left the link to this 9th Precinct tweet…3RD Ave from East 11th to 14TH Streets were closed briefly while we investigated a suspicious package.
