LOGAN, Utah — An emergency evacuation was ordered Tuesday on the Utah State University campus due to a suspicious package.
The order for the Old Main Building was issued just before 3 p.m., and people were told to leave the building immediately with only essential items.
Following the order, with people out of the building, the bomb squad was heard yelling "fire in the hole" before a loud explosion rang out as the suspicious device was detonated.
At 3:45 p.m., the all-clear signal was given, and people were allowed to return to the building, which was deemed clear and safe.

The evacuation order came hours before Turning Point USA was scheduled to hold an event on campus, its first in the state since the group's founder, Charlie Kirk, was shot and killed at Utah Valley University.
With the all-clear announcement, the university said all scheduled events will resume as normal.
