A member of the bomb squad deals with the "package."
Things are back to normal in Harrisburg after officials evacuated a building due to a suspicious package.

Police, firefighters, hazmat crews and a bomb squad responded to the Dauphin County Administration Building Friday morning after an object was spotted on a park bench outside the building.

Two floors of the administration building were evacuated and authorities removed the item. Authorities said later that it was a bleach bottle with a rag stuffed in it.

The area was shut down for about two hours because of the scare.
