ORLANDO, Fla. (WFLA) – Roads around Orlando’s Pulse Nightclub Memorial Site were temporarily closed Monday after packages were found in the area.
According to a report by NBC affiliate WESH, Orlando police closed several roads near the West Ester Street crossing before 6pm.

The scene was cleared about 45 minutes after the Orlando Fire Station bomb squad crew checked the package.
Authorities have not said what’s in the package. Authorities say the package features Walmart branding and was dropped off outside the memorial.
The roads resumed just before 7pm on Monday.
The Crosswalk was previously painted with a rainbow to honor the 49 casualties in the June 2016 massacre at a nightclub. It has been the subject of controversy since last week’s Rainbow coloring was removed by FDOT.
Demonstrators continue to use chalk to restore the colour despite warnings that paint will not be allowed.
