Trump fuels false rumors about pet killings in Springfield, Ohio
Former President Donald J. Trump inflamed recent false rumors that Haitian migrants are kidnapping, killing and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.
Officials in Springfield, Ohio closed City Hall Thursday after a bomb threat was issued to multiple facilities, the city said in a news release.
The source of the threats was not immediately clear.
The activity comes two days after Donald Trump mentioned Springfield, Ohio during the presidential debate when promoting a false rumor that migrants there are eating people’s pets. Local officials have previously confirmed the accounts are not true.
The threat addressed multiple agencies and media outlets in an email that went out shortly before 8:30 a.m. Thursday, according to the release.
“As a precautionary measure, the building has been evacuated, and authorities are currently conducting a thorough investigation,” the release states. “Our primary concern is the safety and well-being of our employees and residents. We are working to address this situation as swiftly as possible.”
