Target stores across multiple states receive bomb threats amidst Pride Month controversy.
TL;DR Summary
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.
