JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Officers with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office responded to the Florida State College at Jacksonville South Campus on Monday afternoon after they were notified about a “possible suspicious backpack,” according to police.
Lt. McCormick, with the Sheriff’s Office, said responding officers met with the school’s security team, and they chose out of an abundance of caution to evacuate. Police and security teams searched the campus.
