FBI Investigating Bomb Threat At Las Vegas JCC

The FBI is looking into a bomb threat against the Jewish Community Center of Southern Nevada that was called in Monday afternoon.

The Las Vegas Sun reports the facility on West Sahara Drive was evacuated as a result of the threat.

Bomb sniffing dogs found no evidence of explosives at the JCC, and the building was reopened a couple of hours later.

The bomb scare came during a rash of threats Monday against Jewish centers nationally, with more than 20 such calls made.

Casey Morell is the coordinating producer of Nevada Public Radio's flagship broadcast State of Nevada and one of the station's midday newscast announcers. (He's also been interviewed by Jimmy Fallon, whatever that's worth.)
