UPDATE:
The "suspicious" item which caused police, fire and EOD crews to converge at Gulf Terrace earlier today turned out to be a plaque, according to officials from the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office.
The plaque was designed for a former EOD specialist and it looked like an explosive device of some sort and was inert, officials reported.
Michele Nicholson from the OCSO told The Log the scene has been cleared.
