TALLAHASSEE, Fla. --The National Guard Armory in Tallahassee was evacuated after a man reported placing a bomb inside the facility.

Florida Department of Military Affairs spokesman Lt. Justin Phillips says Tallahassee police were told that someone made a threat Tuesday morning.

Nothing suspicious had been found in the armory, on the eastern side of the city and nearly five miles from the state Capitol, Tallahassee police Officer David Northway said.

The Florida National Guard Joint Operations Tallahassee Police are still searching for a man who claims to have placed a bomb at the National Guard Armory this morning.

CBS affiliate WCTV reports that, according to TPD Spokesman David Northway, officers are looking for a black man in his 40's wearing camouflage pants and a black shirt possibly armed with a handgun.

Northway says the suspect approached a man in the parking lot of the nearby Dollar General store at the intersection of East Park Ave and Capital Circle SE and asked if he had a phone. When he said yes, Northway said, the suspect told him to call the police because he had placed a bomb at the Armory.

WCTV reports that the suspect was last seen going into the woods behind the shopping center at the corner of Park Avenue and Capital Circle NE, Northway said.

Lt. Phillips earlier stated that Tallahassee Police had someone in custody, but later said that was a mistake. TPD tells WCTV at this point no one has been detained, questioned or arrested in this case.

The incident comes five days after 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez fatally shot four Marines and a sailor at two military sites in Chattanooga.

On Saturday, Florida Gov. Rick Scott ordered that six storefront recruiting offices across the state be moved into nearby armories. Scott also ordered that every member of the National Guard be armed.
