Officials evacuated the Old Courthouse and Annex Building in Laurel County Monday due to a bomb threat. At approximately 9:45 a.m., Laurel County 911 dispatched units to the Laurel County Courthouse after receiving messages about three explosive devices in and around the building. The threat was initially sent to multiple media outlets and a local official. The person who sent the email to the outlets stated the explosives were set to go off at 11 a.m. Laurel County Sheriff’s Office, KSP, London Police Department, and London Fire Department conducted searches of the buildings with a bomb dog and drones to find the possible explosive devices.
