Multiple Target stores evacuated due to bomb threats and LGBTQ+ controversy.

A Target store in Layton, Utah was evacuated after bomb threats were made to multiple Target stores in the state. The threats referenced Target's Pride merchandise displays and came from a bogus email address. Prosecutors may seek subpoenas to find the source of the threats. The incident occurred just days after Target faced backlash on social media for its LGBTQ+ children's merchandise being sold in several stores. The Salt Lake City Police Department has determined there is no credible threat to Target stores in Salt Lake City.
