Miami International Airport was evacuated after a “suspicious item” was left at the terminal on Sunday evening, according to reports. Around 5 p.m., the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office (MSDO) said they responded to the airport after receiving a report of unattended luggage at Door 21 of the South Terminal on the Departures level of the airport. Upon arrival, deputies identified the luggage and, out of an abundance of caution, evacuated everyone in the area, MDSO told CBS News Miami.MIA Spokesperson Greg Chin confirmed the incident and said the TSA checkpoints for Concourses G, H and J, along with
the curbside roadway, were evacuated and closed off. This caused traffic in the area. MDSO’s Bomb Squad was brought to the scene and investigated the situation. MDSO said in a later update that the Bomb Squad gave the all-clear around 7:40 p.m. and that the airport has resumed normal operations at that time.
