NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Vanderbilt University Police Department has given the all-clear after a report of an explosive device prompted street closures around a parking garage in Nashville, Tennessee.

The call came in Tuesday morning at the West Garage near Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. Police blocked off streets around the garage as a precaution.

Metro police also called in their bomb squad to investigate.

It's still unclear what prompted the initial response.
