San Jose Bomb Squad Investigate Suspicious Device at Hotel, All-Clear Given

The San Jose Police Department's bomb squad investigated a suspicious device found Saturday inside a downtown San Jose hotel.

Someone found the suspicious device at around 10:30 a.m. in the second floor men's bathroom inside the Hilton San Jose hotel, officers said.

Officers in the bomb unit used a water discharge device tool on it, and they said the device was not explosive. But the device was made to look like a fake explosive, officers said.

Twenty people were evacuated from the area, police said.

Just before 5 p.m., the scene was clearing, and the hotel is currently open for business.
