The residents, most in wheelchairs, some in beds, had to be wheeled outside into the extreme heat while the Dallas Police Department Bomb Squad investigated.

The suspicious item was bubble-wrapped and beeping, according to Lt. Steve Lafferty, Cedar Hill Police Department.

It turns out the object inside the bubble wrap was a medical device that warns if someone falls out of bed or a chair, according to investigators.
