TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 A lodging facility at MacDill Air Force Base has been evacuated Thursday night following a threat, officials say.<\/p>\n
Base officials say the MacDill Inn was evacuated “out of an abundance of caution,” though no further details into the threat were immediately provided.<\/p>\n
“We take all threats seriously and are taking appropriate measures to prioritize the safety and security of our installation,” the base wrote in a statement. “As a matter of policy, we will not release specifics on what security measures have been implemented.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
This comes after two siblings were indicted nearly two weeks ago in connection with an improvised explosive device<\/a> that was planted at the base’s Visitor Center. In a separate incident, a St. Petersburg man was arrested by U.S. Marshals last month in connection to threats that caused an hours-long lockdown\u00a0<\/a>at the base.\u00a0<\/p>\n An investigation into Thursday’s threat is ongoing.<\/p>\n This is a developing story.
