Target stores across multiple states receive bomb threats amidst Pride Month controversy.

Several Target stores in Louisiana received bomb threats via email, accusing the store of bowing to the wishes of far-right extremists who want to exterminate the LGBTQ+ community. Last month, Target removed some items from its stores and made other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride Month after intense backlash from some customers. The Lafayette Target locations were evacuated on Saturday, but after a search, no devices were found and both stores were cleared to reopen.
