A suspicious package did not blow up Friday morning after is was found outside Harpo Productions Inc. on the Near West Side, police said.
The item did not explode and no one was hurt, according to a Monroe District police officer at 8:52 a.m., who said police were clearing the scene.
About 6:20 a.m., a security guard found a dark-colored backpack with wires hanging out of it in a flowerbed outside the studio at 110 N. Carpenter St., according to police News Affairs Officer JoAnn Taylor, who was citing preliminary information.
The district officer did not immediately know whether the backpack had the capacity to explode and police said studio was not evacuated.
The police Bomb & Arson Unit was sent to the scene but a detective did not have further information.
The studio is where Oprah Winfrey records her television show.
