Bomb threats against several Target stores in Utah and Ohio forced the evacuation of the Layton Target affecting staff and shoppers. Police officials said that the email containing the bomb threat originated from a bogus email address.

In addition, a newspaper in Ohio also received the same threatening email that called Target cowards for cowering to pressure over the company’s controversial Pride collection. The email stated that bombs will continue to go off in their stores until Target reinstates the LGBT merchandise.

The incident occurred after Target announced that some items from their Pride collection would be removed due to threats and confrontational behavior displayed by some people. Target Crisis Communications Manager Kayla Castaneda stated that the company had to adjust their plans in response to the volatile circumstances by removing certain items which caused the most controversy. But despite this decision, most of the products that sparked outrage remain available online.
