Update to our story from last night, but there’s not a lot out on it yet.

TACOMA, Wash. – Police have safely removed a suspicious device that shut down a Tacoma neighborhood and forced the evacuation of an elementary school on Wednesday afternoon.

Investigators and officials from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives determined the device found at a home near East 50th Street and McKinley Avenue East was explosive. It was taken to another location to be safely detonated.

A man living at the home was arrested for investigation of unlawful possession of an explosive device.
