ORIGINAL STORY:
The Wells Fargo Bank at South 25th East, near Red Robin Restaurant, was evacuated at around 1:38 p.m. Tuesday after people reported the smell of natural gas.
According to initial reports, crews were digging across the street from the bank on 25th Street, which may have been the cause of the problem.
Investigation is continuing.
