BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- There is no danger to the public after a suspicious package was found at the Planned Parenthood on Highland Avenue in Birmingham, police say.

Planned Parenthood staff called police after the suspicious package was found just before 4 p.m. Thursday at the organization's location at Highland Avenue and 27th Place South.

The package, which police did not describe, did not contain a bomb, Birmingham police Capt. Orlando Wilson said. Authorities are not sure of its contents, but did say there was no threat to the public.

The item has been turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and will be taken to the FBI's laboratory, Wilson said.

Police have no suspects in the case, Wilson said.

Planned Parenthood Southeast Vice President for External Affairs Nora Spencer said in a statement that the organization does not comment on security issues.

"The safety of our patients and staff is Planned Parenthood Southeast's highest priority," she said.

Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service, the Birmingham Police Department's Explosive Ordinance Disposal unit and the FBI were on the scene Thursday.

Highland Avenue was closed to traffic around Rhodes Park while crews were on the scene.
