Target Bomb Threats Tied to Backlash Over Pride Merchandise
- Target stores in at least five states were evacuated after receiving bomb threats over the weekend.
- The threats are believed to be in response to Target's decision to scale back and remove some of its Pride Month merchandise.
- Target received both criticism and threats after announcing it would pull back some of its Pride collection, citing safety concerns.
- Target's stock has dropped over $15.7 billion in value since the backlash began last month.
- The FBI and local law enforcement investigated the threats and gave the all-clear for Target stores to reopen.
