Member Center:
(Atlanta, Georgia-AP) Oct. 10, 2005 - Police are investigating suspicious bottles found in a courtyard at Georgia Tech.
The discovery of the bottle containing chemicals led to the evacuation of two dormitories, but students have been allowed back into the buildings.
No serious injuries were reported after the devices were found by a janitor this morning. Officers later found at least two more devices fashioned from plastic bottles.
The worker who found the bottle was picking up trash. He was taken to a clinic for evaluation.
Spokeswoman Amelia Gambino says about 100 students were evacuated from Cloudman and Glenn dormitories. Authorities notified the Department of Homeland Security.
Police are trying to determine what substance was in the bottles.
