Target Reportedly Receives Bomb Threats Over LGBT Merchandise — But There’s a Twist

Several 🎯Target stores have reportedly received bomb threats involving its LGBT merchandise.

The Washington Post reported🎯Target stores in Oklahoma, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Louisiana received threats. It noted the threats were similar to ones issued in Ohio, Utah, and Pennsylvania.

“In most instances, unknown individuals emailed the threats to local news outlets. The FBI and the regional Joint Terrorism Task Force have been assisting with the investigation in some jurisdictions,” The Post added.

Additionally, it noted law enforcement investigated the stores and decided they were safe.

The latest threats came after 🎯Target said it was removing some Pride-themed products in May.

At the time, the company stated, “Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and wellbeing while at work.”
