The ATF, FBI and local police responded to a bomb threat at Magnolia Elementary School and were surprised by what they found, AL.com reports.
According to a caller, a Latino man placed the package in front of the school.
The device, which was found on a pickup truck in the school parking lot, contained actual bomb components.

Authorities detonated the device in nearby woods.
Federal officials said the investigation could be lengthy.
