DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — Officials say an unattended bag prompted a brief evacuation of Duluth International Airport.
Duluth police spokesman Brad Wick says the bag was inadvertently left near a gate by two incoming passengers — each of whom thought the other person had it.
Police got a call from the airport just after 11:30 a.m. Friday. The terminal was evacuated and the airport was blocked off. A bomb-disposal squad from the nearby Air National Guard Base investigated the bag.
People were allowed back into the terminal around 2 p.m.
Airport Authority Director Brian Ryks says while the terminal was closed, the airport was not shut down.
