Two hospitals in Springfield, Ohio, were temporarily closed following bomb threats, which occurred in the aftermath of politically charged statements by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The city had recently been in the spotlight after Trump made baseless claims during a debate, which local authorities have since discredited.
Kettering Health Springfield and Mercy Health’s Springfield Regional Medical Center were evacuated to allow law enforcement and hospital security to investigate the threats.
After a thorough search, no explosives were found, and both hospitals were able to resume normal operations safely.
Authorities emphasized that public safety remains a top priority, particularly in light of recent bomb threats that have targeted schools, government buildings, and other institutions in Springfield.
The threats came after Trump falsely alleged that Haitian immigrants were involved in pet consumption in the area, an unfounded claim that has been refuted by local police.
Despite the fear caused by these threats, local authorities are conducting ongoing investigations to ensure the safety and security of the community.
No credible evidence has emerged to support the alarming accusations, and Springfield continues to recover from the recent disruption.
