Officials with the OPD and the Marion County Sheriff’s office said at the end of their search they weren’t able to locate a device.
Lieutenant Michelle Green spoke about what comes into her mind during this type of situation.
“First thing at least on my mind is to get everyone out safely I want to make sure that none of our citizens are harmed and that everybody is out. We actually had a lot of people just leave the area. we do have some employees that stayed, but we’ve gotten them as far as we possibly can, but we just want to make sure everything is safe.”
