This was the scene outside their Sutton Place apartment early Monday afternoon:

There, Trump Jr.'s wife, Vanessa, opened the letter just after 10 a.m. She and two other people were decontaminated by firefighters at the scene. Vanessa Trump was the only person taken to the hospital for evaluation.

Everyone exposed to the powder appears to be fine, officials said.
