Suspicious Object On School Campus Contained Gun Powder

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - Students at a school in Sacramento are being allowed back into class following the discovery of a suspicious device that turned out to contain gun powder.

The police bomb squad was called to the school Friday after the device was found on campus, according to Twin Rivers School District police.

Students at Castori Elementary School located at 1801 South Avenue were moved to the north side of the campus as precaution and streets around the area closed just before 9 a.m. after the parent of a student found the object in the grass on campus

The object is described as a 5-inch tube with electrical tape on both sides and what looked like a fuse coming out of one end. Sacramento Police Department's bomb squad examined the object and found that the object was made out of a cardboard tube taped shut with gun powder inside.

All of the students are safe.
