Cubs Game To Go On As Planned After Wrigley Field Bomb Threat
CHICAGO (STMW) -- Gates will open as scheduled for Friday afternoon's Chicago Cubs game against Pittsburgh at Wrigley Field after a bomb threat was called in to the ballpark.
The threat was made by phone about 10:15 a.m., according to Chicago Police.
Officers and K-9 units responded to the park to investigate, police said. No threat was found, and no injuries were reported. The park wasn't evacuated.
"Before our game at Wrigley Field this afternoon, we were notified of a potential bomb threat," a Chicago Cubs spokesman said in a statement.
"After a thorough search by law enforcement, no evidence was found to suggest this threat was credible. Gates will open at 11:20 a.m. as planned."
