caution. a bomb squad arrived here a little over an hour and a half ago. we've been told they are approaching very cautiously. we do not know whether they've gotten to the package. i know that they were surrounding it and using all sorts of ways to monitor it before they actually physically examined it. university officials emphasized that safety is their top priority and are asking people to stay away and nearby buildings have been put in a shelter in place mode. university officials also point out that the union area is the only area impacted by this and that the rest of the campus is operating normally. we will give you an update if we get one here and we will have complete updates on ktvu.com. reporting live at stanford university, robert handa, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you for that update. after more than seven decades of being known as the bay bridge, the san francisco side of it is getting a name change. a ceremony is underway as the bridge is being rae named in honor of willie brown.
