A hotel on Temple University's campus in North Philadelphia was evacuated after a bomb squad was called to the area.
Officials say a possible grenade was found near the intersection of Broad and Berks streets, causing University officials to evacuate the Conwell Inn, which is located along Liacouras Walk.
An alert was sent out to the school's staff and students just before 5:55 p.m. informing them of the evacuation and warning them to avoid the area.
About 10 minutes later, a second alert was sent out telling the Temple community that the area has been reopened and that the "Philadelphia Police Department Bomb Squad have taken the suspicious device from campus."
