Man Arrested Following Bomb Scare At Brockton Health Center

BROCKTON (CBS) -- One man is under arrest in connection with a suspicious package that was left at Brockton Neighborhood Health Center Tuesday afternoon.

People at the health center and the surrounding are were evacuated.

"I drove by the area earlier and called my husband to tell him I was going to go in for an interview, and he said 'don't go in, the building's not safe,'" witness Kerrie Galligin said.

Evacuees found shelter at Keith Jackson's Messiah Baptist Church.

"The fact that they knew they could come here for shelter, I thought, was fantastic," Jackson said.

The suspect's name has not been released.
