The Dallas VA Medical Center was evacuated after a suspicious device was reported inside the building Monday afternoon.

According to the Dallas police, Veterans Affairs detectives were searching an employee's office at the center in the 4500 block of South Lancaster Road, near Ann Arbor Avenue in east Oak Cliff.

Shortly after 2 p.m. the detectives found a "suspicious package" that was "placed in a manner to cause alarm," police said.

Staff and patients were evacuated from portions of the building while authorities investigated.

About 4:30 p.m., the police department's explosive ordnance disposal unit determined that the package was not a threat.

The center posted on Facebook about an hour later saying that the building had been given the all clear.
