Suspicious item at Fort Shafter causes road closures

Police ordered Kalihi residents and businesses to evacuate after a suspicious item was found at Fort Shafter.

Army environmental compliance staff found what appeared to be a plastic box at 12:40 p.m. Thursday at a construction site, the Army said. A robot was sent in and determined it was not an explosive device. It was later identified as a piece of training equipment.

Middle Street between Rose and King streets was closed, snarling rush-hour traffic. The Army also evacuated some buildings and closed roads at Fort Shafter near the site.

The all-clear was given just after 4 p.m.

On Rose Street, care home operator Lourdes Bumanglag scrambled to pack up her three elderly patients and managed to evacuate just before the all-clear was given.

A preschool was initially ordered to evacuate but was later told to shelter in place.
