WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- Police in Sunrise, the U.S. state of Florida, said Wednesday they were investigating a suspicious package sent to the district office of Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

The package was found hours after suspicious devices were sent to former President Barack Obama, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as to CNN's offices in New York.

The building that houses the Democratic lawmaker's office was evacuated after the suspicious package was found in the mail, according to the Sunrise police.

"ALERT!!! We are working an investigation of a suspicious package near Sawgrass Corporate Parkway," the Sunrise Police Department tweeted.

"There have been no reports of any other incidents or suspicious packages at any other venues within Sunrise," it said in another tweet.
