MILWAUKEE — A bomb threat reported at the Milwaukee Athletic Club building turned out to be false on Wednesday, according to police.
According to a statement, officers responded to Broadway and Mason after a business there reported a bomb threat. TMJ4 News crews at the scene confirmed officers were responding to the athletic club. The building was evacuated and no injuries have been reported.
Police continued that K9 units searched the building and did not find any explosive devices. MPD called it an "ongoing investigation."
No suspects were identified.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Milwaukee Police at (414) 935-7360, or to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at (414)224-Tips or P3 Tips.
The large number of MPD officers who responded caused a bit of a problem for some drivers. Broadway was closed to traffic for several hours.
The Hop also said it is delaying service until officers clear the scene. The police response happened near The Hop's tracks.
Streetcar service is currently delayed due to MPD blockage on or near the alignment. We apologized for the inconvenience this may cause.
