Three NYC synagogues targeted with false bomb threats: police
NY Post
Three Manhattan synagogues received false bomb threats on Saturday, according to police.
The Upper West Side’s Congregation Rodeph Sholom, located at 7 W. 83rd Street near Central Park, was evacuated after police received a report of a bomb threat around 3:15 p.m.
Police confirmed that the threat was unfounded.
Another threat — which was also determined to be false — prompted an evacuation at the Chabad of Midtown at 509 5th Avenue around 4:30 p.m.
Around the same time, police responded to a bomb threat at the progressive, LGBTQ-friendly Congregation Beit Simchat Torah at 130 W. 30th Street.
Nobody was inside that synagogue at the time and the threat was also determined to be false, police said.
ABC News staffers are blaming a dustup over provocative Instagram photos posted by “Good Morning America 3” co-host DeMarco Morgan on a wave of layoffs last year — with casualties including executives whose duties included monitoring the social media accounts of the network’s on-air talent, The Post has learned.
