WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- A bomb squad and police responded Thursday to reports of asuspicious package mailed to the home of the editor of a newspaper that has been the target of criticism after publishing a database of local gun-permit holders.
The package was delivered to the home of CynDee Royle, editor and vice president/news of The Journal News.
It was the fifth instance of a suspicious letter or package being delivered to the newspaper's White Plains offices or to the homes of company employees since Dec. 23 when The Journal News published a Dec. 23 article titled "The gun owner next door: What you don't know about the weapons in your neighborhood." The report included an interactive map on the newspaper's website with the names and addresses of legal pistol-permit holders in Rockland and Westchester counties.
