SAN FRANCISCO -- A suspicious device reported at a San Francisco Municipal Railway bus stop Thursday morning has been determined to merely be some sort of rice cooker, police said.

Officers shut down several nearby streets and the department's bomb squad responded to investigate. At 9:10 a.m., investigators determined the device was some sort of rice cooker and deemed it harmless, police spokesman Sgt. Michael Andraychak said.
