FARGO (KFGO) – Fargo police and fire responded to the Islamic Society of Fargo Moorhead at 601 28th St. S shortly after noon Wed. with the initial report describing the call as a hazardous materials investigation.
Shortly after 2:30 p.m., streets in the general vicinity were reopened and only access to the center’s parking lot was restricted.
A law enforcement source said the investigation surrounded a suspicious package. A city spokeswoman later confirmed the source report saying a person who was acting suspiciously left a backpack outside the building and left.
