LIVE OAK, Fla. — The Live Oak Fred’s store was closed Monday evening after a bomb scare.

According to Suwannee County Sheriff Sam St. John, what sounded to be a young female called the store around 6:30 p.m. and said there was a homemade bomb in the back of the store.

When the employee asked who the caller was, the caller hung up, according to St. John.

Members of the Live Oak Police Department, Live Oak Fire Department, Suwannee County Fire Rescue and SCSO responded and conducted a search throughout the building.

St. John said no bomb was located.

“You can’t take things like this lightly,” St. John said.

St. John said authorities were leaving the decision on whether to reopen the store Monday night to store officials.
