NEW YORK CITY -- A  suspicious device was found in the mail room of the Time Warner Center.

The device was constructed with a pipe and wires. Law enforcement authorities are treating the device as a real explosive.

The device was discovered in the building's mail room, the source said.

The building's evacuation included offices for WarnerMedia and other Turner-owned properties like TNT, as well as a shopping mall and a Whole Foods grocery store located in the basement level.

Suspicious packages were also sent to former President Obama, The Clinton home in Chappaqua, Representative Maxine Waters, former Attorney General Eric Holder and Democratic donor George Soros.
