BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- A suspicious package was reported near the UAB campus at approximately 4:45 p.m. Thursday evening. Within minutes, members of the FBI, ATF, Birmingham and UAB police, firefighters and paramedics were on the scene. Police cordoned off four city blocks, from 14th St. South at 10th and 11th Avenues South, and kept UAB students out of the area for several hours.
A member of the bomb squad in protective gear walked into a building on the corner of 13th Street and 11th Avenue South to test for possible chemical or biological elements. After determining that the package was not a Haz-Mat issue, they returned to the scene to destroy the package.
Police said the package was made to imitate an explosive device. No arrests have been made at this time.
