Chicago police investigated bomb threats against several hotels in the city on Tuesday, the second day of the Democratic National Convention.
The Chicago Police Department told the New York Post that “the U.S. Secret Service is aware of threats made to various locations in the downtown area. Law-enforcement personnel are screening the affected areas and examining the credibility of the threat.”
Paris Schutz, a Fox 32 Chicago political correspondent, reported that he saw police and K9 dogs at the Nobu Hotel in the West Loop. The TV station’s news desk said it also received an email claiming a pipe bomb threat at Nobu and three other hotels on the west side
The station noted that the threats referenced the DNC and included antisemitic statements.
This is a developing story.
