Springfield City Hall was evacuated on Thursday after a bomb threat. The campus has been closed, the city government said in a post on social media. This comes days after Former President Donald Trump first claimed that Haitian immigrants in the Ohio city were stealing and eating pets – especially cats and ducks. While authorities confirmed that they have not received reports about any 'pet eating' incident, social media users are linking the bomb threat to Trump's allegations.
“Due to a bomb threat that was issued to multiple facilities throughout Springfield today, City Hall is closed today,” the city government said in a post on Facebook. “City of Springfield received a bomb threat that has prompted an immediate response from local and regional law enforcement. As a precautionary measure, the building has been evacuated, and authorities are currently conducting a thorough investigation.”
