A suspicious device has been reported on Divisadero and McAllister, and police and bomb squad personnel are on the scene.
"If you're wondering why Divis & McAllister are shut down it's because this was found in a planter on the sidewalk," reports tipster Shayana W., who sent in photos of the device. "Everyone seemed sure it wasn't anything serious but not sure enough to want to touch it themselves."
