Suspicious Package Causes Shutdown At Westchester Airport

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Westchester County Airport has reopened following a two-hour shutdown. The airport was shutdown due to suspicious package, according to authorities.

Initial reports were that the package was found to be cleaning fluid but Westchester County Police will not confirm or deny the contents.
