Bag found near school prompts evacuation

TEMPE - Police evacuated the UTA Technical School on Sunday when a suspicious large duffel bag was left behind a dumpster on school property.

A school security guard saw a man put the bag behind a dumpster enclosure about 9:20 a.m. and leave the area on foot, police said.

A police bomb squad deployed a remote opening tool to determine that the duffel bag was only full of personal items.
