PHOENIX — A lockdown was lifted from several buildings in a northwest Phoenix suburb after a package found in a nearby parking garage was deemed not suspicious.
The Peoria City Hall, public library and Development and Community Services building were all put on lockdown around 3 p.m.
The lockdown was lifted around 3:20 p.m. after a suspicious package that was found in one of the city hall parking garages was said to be safe, according to the Peoria Police Department.
