KABC-TV in Glendale, California, was evacuated Wednesday following a bomb threat.
The alert was sparked when a man called the Glendale Police Department around 2:45 p.m. PT to say that there were several bombs in the ABC7 building at 500 Circle Seven Drive, ABC7 News reported. Shortly after, the evacuations began.
While waiting for the all clear to return to their studios, ABC7 mobilized and began setting up to deliver “Eyewitness News” from a lawn outside the building.
