After the building was evacuated, employees were seen walking back in.

A woman who'd been in the building for an appointment said she'd gone to the restroom and was walking out when she was approached by officers who told her she had to leave.

Police said they swept the building and didn't find anyone who was armed, and deemed the incident "unfounded."
