The Natrona County Sheriff’s bomb team has been requested for an investigation into a suspicious package, at a Federal building in Casper.
According to Natrona County Sheriff’s Sergeant Aaron Shatto, the NCSO bomb team has been requested for an investigation, near the Dick Cheney Federal Building, near North Center and East B Streets in Casper.
While various areas were being guarded and kept clear by Casper Police and Homeland Security, operations within the Federal Building and Post Office appeared to be going as normal. No evacuations have been made, and pedestrians were seen passing by the area.
