Bomb Scare at Oprah’s
Oprah Winfrey had a bomb scare earlier today at her Harpo Studios set when a strange 
looking package appeared. With this day and age there is no telling what some pyscho or strange fan is going to send. It could’ve been a bomb, dead mice, a lovely table setting, book, etc, but thankfully it was just a strange package and nothing explosive.
It wasn’t even a package like many are reporting, but a backpack that had wires coming out of it. I can see why this would’ve been a bit alarming, it was a security guard that found it early in the morning. Sounds like someone either planted it on purpose or was just walking around the studio and forgot their backpack. Now there was an explosion but it was when the bomb scare blew up the backpack to make sure it was nothing serious.
Sun Times Says:
Security called police and detectives from the police Bomb & Arson Section responded, according to police.
“There was an explosion there but it was Bomb & Arson exploding the backpack to be on the safe side,’’ according to a Monroe District police captain.
“There was nothing that could harm anyone in the backpack — just wires and electronics,’’ according to the captain who said no one was hurt and Oprah was not there at the time though the building was evacuated as well as two residences nearby.
“We conducted diagnostic and render-safe procedures,’’ according to a Bomb & Arson Section spokesman who did not want to be identified.
Whoever left the backpack will be in questioning once the police figured out who it was, thankfully (not for the intruder I’m sure) the studio had cameras that caught it all. Oops.
