Bomb Threat At Fremont Medical Office Prompts Evacuation: Police

FREMONT, CA — Police say they're investigating a fake bomb threat made at a medical office in Fremont earlier this month.

It's unclear who made the alleged threat. A doctor on Thursday, Oct. 15, told officers that someone had "swatted" the office multiple times recently, according to the Fremont Police Department.

In this case, whoever made the call claimed they had explosives and two firearms, police said.

The suspect threatened to harm themselves and detonate the explosives, prompting officers to evacuate the building, police said.

Officers did not find any suspicious devices or items after searching every floor of the building, police said.
