Bomb Threats Causes Panic In White House

There was an emergency evacuation of the White House press room over a bomb threat received by the state house.

According to White House Spokesman , Josh Earnest, a phone call alerted the Metropolitan Police Department, as such the Secret Service interrupted activities in the building and escorted journalists out of the building.

While journalists were out of the press room secret service officers combed the venue looking for
explosives with the help of a sniffer dog. A little more than 30 minutes later, an all-clear signal was given, and journalists were led back to the press room. President Barack Obama and his family were not evacuated, according to Earnest.
