Courthouse bomb threat proves harmless

MIAMI (WSVN) -- A threat to bomb a government building Tuesday has turned out to be nothing more than that.

Miami Police had to evacuate the immigration courthouse at 333 South Miami Avenue and temporarily shutdown the Metro Mover Riverwalk station as a safety precaution after someone telephoned the building with a threat.

After the Miami Police Bomb Squad and bomb-sniffing dogs failed to discover evidence of an explosive device, authorities permitted employees to re-enter the building.
