Bloomington Police Lt. Pete Avery said Thursday that a review of an in-house security video showed the man was actually a custodian carrying something.

About 2,000 employees were told to go to the basement while police investigated. They were released after the lockdown was lifted.

Company spokesman Fraser Engerman says no one was injured.
