Springfield City Hall evacuated over bomb threat as small Ohio town blasts onto nation’s radar

A reported bomb threat prompted the evacuation of Springfield City Hall as the town continued to make headlines.

In a message posted to the town’s official Facebook account, Springfield advised that they received a threat and authorities are currently investigating the matter. They urged folks to avoid the City Hall area and to report any suspicious behavior.

“CITY HALL IS CLOSED TODAY. Due to a bomb threat that was issued to multiple facilities throughout Springfield today, City Hall is closed today,” the message read. “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. 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.”

“City officials were alerted to this threat via an email message this morning at 8:24 am,” they explained. “The email was sent to multiple agencies and media outlets. We ask the community to avoid the area surrounding the City Hall vicinity while the investigation is ongoing and to report any suspicious activity to the Springfield Police Division. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work through this matter.”
