The suspicious device was found Sunday evening on the Brush Secondary Campus, according to a message from the Brush School District.

Local law enforcement was called, and the Brush Police Department and Brush Fire Department responded to the campus to conduct a thorough search, according to the district. Thompson Primary and Beaver Valley Elementary were also searched as a precaution, the district said.
