Building 2 at the king and queen building complex in Sandy Springs was evacuated Friday afternoon after a threat call was made to the property. Sandy Springs Police later cleared the scene, ending the immediate disruption for tenants in the office building.
Cody Alcorn posted that Building two at the King and Queen buildings had been evacuated as a precaution after a threat was called in to the property. His update came as police investigated the scene at 2 Concourse Parkway, the office building identified in the complex.

A sign at the building lists U.S. Bank, Intellinet and Safe-Guard among the corporate tenants. For people working in Building 2, the practical effect was simple: leave first, then wait for police to finish checking the property before coming back in.
The decision came from property management, which evacuated Building 2 as a precaution after the phone threat was received. Sandy Springs Police told 11Alive around 2:30 p.m. that they had cleared the scene, which meant the building was no longer being held for the active response that started earlier in the afternoon.

The scene was cleared, but the nature of the threat stayed under investigation at that time. That left one unresolved piece for tenants and workers: what was said on the call and whether it pointed to any real danger beyond the precaution that triggered the evacuation.
For now, the immediate next step for anyone tied to the building is to follow whatever instructions come from the property side once the police response ends. The evacuation itself is over; the question that remains is what led to the call in the first place.
