Arizona Supreme Court Evacuated After Package Tests Positive for Explosives
On Monday morning, Arizona’s Supreme Court building was evacuated after the discovery of multiple vials containing a homemade explosive substance. The Department of Public Safety (DPS) responded to a report of a “suspicious package” at around 8 am, leading to the involvement of multiple agencies. Staff were sent home and the building was evacuated after the package in the mailroom tested positive for explosives. As a precaution, multiple buildings in the area, including the Department of Education, were also evacuated while the Phoenix Police Department led the investigation.
