MIAMI (AP) — Police say they evacuated a Miami children's hospital for several hours after a possible bomb threat.
A news release from the Miami-Dade Police Department says officers evacuated Nicklaus Children's Hospital as a precaution after receiving a call just before 3 p.m. Friday regarding a possible bomb threat and shooting.
Police reported over social media about three hours after the initial call that officers had conducted a preliminary search and did not find an active shooter or explosive devices at the hospital. By 8 p.m., police had determined there was no suspicious activity and allowed the hospital to return to normal operations.
