Utah State University (USU) evacuated a building on Sept. 30 after a “suspicious device” was found and detonated by the bomb squad just hours before the university was set to host a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) event.
USU said the device was found near the exterior of its Old Main building at around 2:45 p.m. local time on Sept. 30, prompting a response from university and local law enforcement.
“Officers located the device and deemed it to be non-explosive. Out of an abundance of caution, the bomb squad detonated the device,” it said in a statement.
The building is “now clear and safe,” and scheduled events could resume “as normal,” USU stated. The university also said the incident is not connected to the TPUSA event….
