“Our officers put on protective equipment prior to entering the unit,” said police in a statement.

One man was detained for questioning. Police have not said what the man’s association is with the suite.

As of Saturday at 1 p.m., police and fire officials remained on scene to investigate. Officials said there is no risk to the public at this time, and that traffic disruptions near the building had ramped down from earlier in the day.

“Investigations like the one on West Georgia can take some time. The safety of the public and our officers are our priority,” said Const. Jason Doucette in an email.

“We have slowed things down and are going to work to determine what exactly we are dealing with.”
