That also led the county’s transit agency to shut down the attached Metrorail and Metromover stations, with trains later bypassing them.
Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies taped off the building and train stations.
Commuters, seen outside the building, were frustrated over the station closures.
“We tried to get on it and we couldn’t get on it,” commuter Zoyla Edwards said, referring to the Metromover. “So I went through an Uber to the Government Center and it’s completely shut down.”
