SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) - A bomb squad removed a suspicious device from a Mission District apartment in San Francisco Monday morning, a police spokesman said.

The bomb squad responded and confiscated the object.

Police shut down 16th Street between Guerrero and Valencia streets until 9 a.m. when the area was deemed safe, Shyy said.

No injuries were reported.
