CELEBRATION.
GOOD AFTERNOON.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
WE WANT TO GET YOUR RIGHT TO A
DEVELOPING STORY THAT WE ARE
FOLLOWING IN ST. PAUL.
THERE HAS BEEN A BOMB THREAT AT
THE ST. PAUL JCC IN HIGHLAND
PARK THIS IS THE SECOND BOMB
THREAT AT THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
CENTER IN ABOUT A MONTH.
ANGELA DAVIS IS LIVE AT THE
SCENE.
HAVE YOU LEARNED?
Reporter: THIS IS STILL AN
ACTIVE SCENE.
RIGHT NOW THE SAME -- ST. PAUL
POLICE BOMB SQUAD OUR MOVIE FOR
EVERY PART OF THE BUILDING AND
STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO
CLEAR THE SCENE OF ST. PAUL
AVENUE IN HIGHLAND PARK.
THEY HAVE ASKED THE MEDIA TO
KEEP BACK BUT WE CAN SHOW YOU
VIDEOS WE'VE SHOWN IN THE LAST
HALF-HOUR.
THAT THREAT WAS PHONED INTO THE
JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER AROUND
10 AM.
THE CENTER THEN INITIATED THE
EVACUATION PLAN AND THE BOMB
SQUAD RESPONDED.
THIS IS A PLACE WHERE THERE ARE
CHILDREN WHO ARE IN A
PRESCHOOL, A DAY CARE CENTER AS
WELL AS SENIOR CITIZENS WHO
EXERCISE.
THERE IS A FITNESS CENTER.
THE DAYCARE PROGRAM AND ALL
OTHER PROGRAMS, THEY WERE MOVED
TO A NEARBY FIRE STATION FOR
SAFETY.
IT IS RAINING.
WE SAW PENCE COMING TO PICK UP
THEIR CHILDREN EARLY BUT
EVERYONE IS ACCOUNTED FOR AND
SAFE.
MEMBERS OF THE BOMB SQUAD ARE
MOVING TO THE BUILDING TO MAKE
SURE THERE IS NO THREAT.
WE DID ALSO GET A CHANCE TO
LOOK AT A LETTER THAT WAS SENT
TO MEMBERS OF THE JCC BY THE
CEO AND HE WANTED TO LET
EVERYONE KNOW THAT EVERYONE
AGAIN IS SAFE AND ACCOUNTED
FOR.
AS YOU MAY KNOW, THIS HAS BEEN
A PROBLEM SINCE THE BEGINNING
OF THE YEAR NATIONWIDE AS
JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTERS HAVE
RECEIVED SOME TYPE OF THREAT
BUT THE ALARMS ARE GOING OFF.
WE WILL STAY HERE UNTIL THE
SCENE IS CLEAR BUT RIGHT NOW
EVERYONE IS SAFE.
DOES THAT MEAN EVERYONE HAS
BEEN EVACUATED FROM THE
BUILDING? Reporter: RIGHT,
EVERYONE IS EVACUATED.
EVERYONE HAS BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR.
NO ONE IS ALLOWED INSIDE THE
BUILDING AS THE MEMBERS OF THE
ST. PAUL POLICE BOMB SQUAD WORK
TO CLEAR THE SCENE.
ANGELA, THANK YOU.
THERE WAS A BOMB THREAT AT SAY
THIS JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER
LAST MONTH.
PARENTS WERE TOLD TO PICK UP
THEIR CHILDREN.
A THREAT FORCING AN EVACUATION.
BOMB SNIFFING DOGS WENT THROUGH
THE BUILDING BUT DIDN'T FIND
ANYTHING.
THE FBI HAS BEEN INVESTIGATING
DOZENS OF BOMB THREATS ACROSS
