A substantial section of a courthouse in downtown Atlanta was evacuated on Friday in response to a suspicious parcel delivered to the office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

The parcel, variously described in news reports as a package or a letter, contained an unidentified white substance and led to several people being treated for headaches and dizziness at the scene of the incident, according to the Atlanta Fire & Rescue Department.

The district attorney’s office was briefly under lockdown while a hazardous materials investigation unfolded. Dozens of emergency vehicles arrived as the investigation unfolded.

Ultimately, four people who exhibited symptoms were taken to nearby Grady Memorial Hospital for evaluation and the entire third floor of the courthouse was locked down while the investigation played out. By late Friday afternoon, however, other courthouse and district attorney’s office employees were able to return to work as the substance was found to be safe.
