Nov 13, 2012 (Fort Worth Star-Telegram - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- FORT WORTH _ A suspicious package at an east Fort Worth post office has forced authorities to evacuate a building and call in a bomb squad, a fire official said.


A robot was sent in to check on the package which was found shortly before 10 a.m. Tuesday at the post office, 4650 E. Rosedale St.

Authorities have evacuated the post office, according to KXAS Channel 5.
