ATLANTA (AP) — Concern over a suspicious package prompted an Atlanta-area shopping mall to evacuate for a time.

Authorities say Greenbriar Mall was shut down Friday for a time after a package was found near the food court. It reopened a couple hours later.

Police and fire vehicles converged on the area. But there weren't any injuries.

Calls to the mall office went unanswered.

Greenbriar opened in 1965 and is one of the region's oldest enclosed shopping malls.
