Package Containing Brain Matter Explodes Inside Building
A package exploded late Tuesday night near Port Columbus International Airport, causing evacuations and exposing some to the West Nile virus.
The incident occurred shortly before 10:30 p.m. at a FedEx facility on Citygate Drive, NewsChannel 4's Beth Dal Ponte reported.
Columbus fire officials said that the package, which contained brain matter from birds that had tested positive for the West Nile Virus, was mailed from the Ohio Department of Health.
"This is not terrorist-related," Columbus Police Sgt. Brent Mull said. "This was something that was shipped legally and properly."
