MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. ā€“ Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and police were called to G. Holmes Braddock High School in southwest Miami-Dade County on Friday after receiving reports of a suspicious package.

Sky 10 was above the scene at 3601 SW 147th Ave. about 8 a.m. as students were evacuated from the building and stood in the school's parking lot.

A Miami-Dade County Public Schools police representative said that the package was found on the second floor by the school's auditorium.

Police K-9s were called in to inspect the package.

Parents told Local 10 News reporter Sanela Sabovic that they received a text from the school informing them about the package, and reassuring them that all students and faculty were safe.

The school also told parents who wish to pick their children up to do so at the baseball field adjacent to the school.

Authorities later deemed the package to be safe and students were sent back to class.

It's unclear what was inside of the package.
