Parts of downtown Lancaster were evacuated Saturday afternoon amid bomb threats referencing a canceled Drag Queen Story Hour event at Lancaster Public Library.
The threats also specifically mentioned the home addresses of the library's executive director, the president of Lancaster Pride, which was supposed to host the event, and an LNP | LancasterOnline reporter.
The email was sent at 12:07 p.m. and said the bombs were to go off at 1:30 p.m. As of 3 p.m., no explosives had gone off. At 3:16 p.m. police lifted the evacuation order and by 3:30 p.m., downtown streets were reopened and people were filling the sidewalks.
The email read, in part: "Bring the fire department, we placed pipe bombs as well as fuel bombs will likely cause a fire spreading to other buildings. evacuate so no innocents die. You are (expletive) degenerates, pedophiles, child abusers or (expletive) cowards who rather let our children get preyed upon than be called a bigot. (expletive)you degenerates, we will kill you all and purify our land."
