Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall assured the public of safety stating, “The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency will be taking the lead on this investigation, and we are urging anyone with information to come forward immediately.” The investigation was launched after Special Agents with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s State Bureau of Investigation received a report of a suspicious package near the intersection of Washington Avenue and South Bainbridge Street in Montgomery at 8:19 a.m. local time on Monday.
