Los Angeles – Three Los Angeles synagogue campuses
were shut down following a series of online bomb threats, disrupting normally
scheduled Shabbat activities on June 10.
The Glazer and Irmas campuses of Wilshire Boulevard Temple
as well as University Synagogue in Brentwood were closed shortly after 8 a.m.,
according to Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Officer Mike Lopez. By about
12:45 p.m., LAPD cleared all locations to reopen.
“K9 units responded
to the locations to make sure to render all locations safe,” Lopez said. “At
this time we have no credible threats.”
