Happened about 9:30 this morning, just got back into the office (12:30). Once they let us off base I went to Starbucks, Target, and then lunch. Fun times.

Tinker building evacuated after threat

By The Associated Press

A bomb threat telephoned to Tinker Air Force Base led to the temporary evacuation of a building in the northeastern area of the base.

Building 3001, which holds large portions of the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center operations, was evacuated as a precautionary measure after the anonymous threat was received in a phone call, the base said in a release.

The building was checked. No dangerous devices were found and employees were allowed to return to the building.
