Police are investigating bomb threats made against Target stores in three states after being alerted by local media outlets that received emails referencing the retail chain's decision to remove or relocate LGBTQ collections celebrating Pride Month.
"Target is full of cowards who turned their back on the LGBT community and decided to cater to the homophobic right wing redneck bigots who protested and vandalized their store," the emailed threat read in part, Cleveland 19 News reported.
Salt Lake City police communications director Brent Weisberg told USA TODAY that officers worked with Target and determined there was no credible threat to the two Target stores in Salt Lake City.
"Officers will continue neighborhood patrols around the Target locations in Salt Lake City out of an abundance of caution," Weisberg said in a statement.
Weisberg declined to provide specifics of the threats, citing an ongoing investigation.

After losing around $10 billion in a week, now the left is making bomb threats.
Target can't win for losing.
Now that the actual terrorist threats are coming from the left, suddenly there's less interest in the topic than when they made up threats from the right.
I think they are trying to figure out how to spin this whole thing. Things are moving too fast for the hive to keep up with.
Actual? So it was all fake news before?
Could have been. No one really knows.
Could have been a fake report to get leftist panties in a wad and trigger them.
If this report is true, it is one hundred percent a lunatic leftist that is pissed Target does not have grooming materials front and center in their stores anymore.
This is the statement Target issued:
So you’re tell us Target lied about experiencing threats?
Never said they did, but they probably thought it would be financially advantageous if they blamed someone else for their failings. Probably thought they would get a lot of sympathy.
They thought wrong.
Sounds like just another right wing "false flag" strategy that they're so fond of.
Keeping Target stores empty is still what the fanatical fascists want.
Kinda like how fanatic fascist leftists wanted Chik fil a and Hobby Lobby stores empty?
That kind of "false flag"
BTW.....There is a Hobby Lobby opening soon very close to my house. Can't wait to give it my business.
Who do you think people learned how to boycott from?
