[UPDATE II: Suspicious device turned out to be "an old military-grade artillery shell." Egads. SF Appeal reports, "Police contacted Travis Air Force Base, which is sending technicians to determine the exact nature of the device." ] At around 10:45 a.m. today, a suspicious device was found near Channel and Fourth Streets near AT&T Park. Authorities have since closed the area: streets are closed, two buildings have been evacuated, and residents along the waterfront living in houseboats have been asked to leave the area.

We'll update as soon as we know more.

Update I: On/Offramp to 280 along King Street has been closed. Motorists are advised to consult 511.org to identify alternate routes.
