Scary news this morning from Hogan Lovells, where the Washington office building received a bomb threat this morning.
There’s no indication that the threat targeted Hogan Lovells specifically as opposed to another tenant (or was made for the purpose of general criminal mayhem). As the alert notes, these threats are generally not credible, but sending everyone home is the right move not only for safety but to provide law enforcement the space needed to conduct a thorough investigation.
