Bag of toys prompts evacuation of Trump Tower lobby

(CNN)Trump Tower was briefly evacuated Tuesday afternoon after authorities discovered a suspicious package that was later determined to be a bag

of children's toys.

The package was discovered in the lobby of the New York City skyscraper, where President-elect Donald Trump resides. He was in Florida at the time.

A video posted to Twitter by user @cielo_celest showed people dashing by elevators as a police officer swings his arm and yells, "Out! Out!"

New York Police Department Det. Hubert Reyes told CNN that the package was investigated by the department's bomb squad. The Secret Service was involved in the

investigation as well, Reyes said.

Please universe, don't make us tolerate this for four years. Make him go away. I'd prefer jail, but we'll take anything. Really.

We need Weasley's Wizard Wheezes!

Fred and George had it right. Only ridicule works against authoritarian regimes.

The Weasley twins forever!
