The 20th floor of the Collier Center in downtown Phoenix was evacuated after reports of a suspicious substance was found in an envelope.

An envelope containing a suspicious substance was discovered at roughly 11:52 a.m. on the 20th floor of 201 E. Washington. The address comes back to the Collier Center, according to Phoenix Fire.  

Two individuals came in contact with the unknown substance in the envelope and were evaluated by Phoenix firefighters.
