Yesterday evening's routine at Pruneyard Shopping Center was disrupted when a bomb threat prompted the evacuation of several businesses. The incident, which specifically threatened a Drag Queen story hour, began around 5:50 PM, leading the Campbell Police to clear the vicinity at 1875 South Bascom Ave. NBC Bay Area reports that the evacuations were carried out as "an abundance of caution," a sentiment echoed in a post on the Campbell Police Department's Instagram account.
The response to the threat included officers from both the Santa Clara and Campbell Police Departments, along with a K-9 unit. After a thorough inspection of the area, authorities confirmed no active threat to the public.
The police have provided no further details about the nature of the threat or if any suspects have been identified or apprehended.
