The Nampa Police Department and NPD bomb unit have determined that a suspicious package in the St. Luke’s Nampa Medical Center parking lot was not an explosive device.

Patient flow at St. Luke’s was not affected, police said, and the emergency department was open. Police first arrived at around noon, police spokesperson Carmen Boeger said.

The Nampa Police Department said the road may be restricted for some time. However, St. Luke's emergency department and schedules remain unchanged.
