After a lengthy evacuation process of more that 500 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services employees, officials have confirmed that the suspicious substance discovered in the company's file room is deodorant.

The Lincoln Fire Department says five people who were close to the substance were taken to the hospital for evaluation. Other employees in the building who were in the area of the substance were taken to a location at the University of Nebraska for decontamination. Employees who were not in the immediate area of the substance were taken to the parking garage near Memorial Stadium.
