The National Guard Armory on Northwest Capitol Circle was briefly evacuated Wednesday after a bomb threat. Law enforcement officials are searching for a suspect who may be armed, said Tallahassee Police Department spokesman, David Northway.
“At approximately 10:15 a.m. this morning the consolidated dispatch agency received a call from a citizen who said a male approached him in the parking lot of the Dollar General at Capitol Circle and Park Avenue and asked him if he had a phone. He said, yes. He said you better call the police because there’s a bomb inside of the National Guard Armory.”
No bomb was found and the all clear was given several hours later. The FBI, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Tallahassee Police and the Big Bend Area bomb squad responded to the scene. The armory has had extra police patrols since a deadly shooting at a military recruitment centers in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
