CHARLESTON, S.C. - Portions of a major downtown street were closed off Friday while bomb squad officers investigate a suspicious package.

Police said the package, which appears attached to a cell phone, was found lying near parked cars on Calhoun Street before 9 a.m. ET.


I'm still trying to find out more info on this.

Yikes. That's a pretty active area.

I love Charleston and can't wait to get back there next year.
