TAMPA, Fla. — Bomb squad officials were called to a Department of Transportation office Wednesday after a man committed suicide in the parking lot.

According to Tampa police, McKinley Drive between Busch Boulevard and Fowler Avenue reopened to traffic early Thursday once investigators determined the area was safe.

Police said the man, in his 60s, made threats he had a bomb and was going to drive into the FDOT offices at 11201 McKinley Drive.

Tampa police responded to the scene when 911 calls started coming in. Officers said when they approached the man’s car to talk to him, he took his own life.

Overnight, when the man’s body was removed from the car, investigators said they found wires and other suspicious items that required the bomb squad to investigate.

Officials have not released the name of the suspect and his background remains unknown.

The Florida Highway Patrol assisted police as the FHP office is adjacent to the DOT office where the incident happened.
