GSUPD evacuated Sparks Hall for more than 30 minutes,
The Georgia State Police Department allowed student back into the building after a more than 30-minute evacuation. GSU News said the package was found on the fourth floor of the building. GSUPD said the package was delivered to the university.
Georgia State officials said that the box contained lab results that were delivered to an office and that there was no immediate threat.
“We don’t know anything. All we heard was a suspicious package. We’ve been here about 10 minutes.,” said Jordan Stevenson, assistant director of admissions, recruitment. “We are more worried about work unfortunately.”
Student Ashley Jones said the evacuation was more of a disruption than anything else.
“I came around the corner and I was like ahh what happened? I just came here because I have to go to class,” she said. “My teacher was like there’s someone every year who does this because they don’t want to take a test.”
