Man Wearing Camo Shuts Down Philly Visitor's Center

[green73]

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The Visitor’s Center on Independence Mall closed for a short period of time Sunday while police investigated a suspicious man.

Authorities say a man wearing a full camouflage suit inside the Visitor’s Center quickly drew the attention of police.

Philadelphia Police Lieutenant Joe McGarrey says they caught up with him inside a vehicle in the underground parking garage.

“The car was full of trash,” he said. “So as a precaution on the safe side, we cleared it with K-9, cleared it with the bomb squad.”

Nothing dangerous was found, but the man was taken into custody for questioning. No charges have been filed.

“Obviously, it’s the Visitor’s Center, Independence Mall,” McGarrey said. “We’re going to take every precaution necessary.”

The building has re-opened.

When I work around the house I often wear camos. Today was my trash dump day also. Stopped to eat lunch at a pizza joint. Glad I wasn't tazed. One never knows leaving their property these days.

People don't wear camo in PA? I'm pretty sure it's 1 of the biggest hunting states in the US and the place with the most deer I've ever seen is the part of PA right outside of Philly.

a homeless guy (or a guy traveling long distance and not too tidy with the fast food wraps) wears camo so lets clear the visitor's center with a K-9?

I hope the dog had fun. I don't see much else good of this.

There's really 2 Pennsylvanias, Pittsburgh and Philly and the rest of the state. Camo in the big cities gets liberal panties in a bunch.

But they get to file a report so when it comes time to approve their spending next year they get to talk about a potential terrorist they stopped.

[catfeathers]

My hubby said probably a homeless vet living out of his car.

[ronpaulfollower999]

Lol. My friend wears full camo all the time. People are so stupid. But hey, keep telling yourself the terrorist didn't win.

[satchelmcqueen]
