HONOLULU (AP) - A bomb threat near downtown Honolulu required the evacuation of the federal building and a state courthouse.
State Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Toni Schwartz says a phone call was made to 911 at about 5:45 a.m. Friday reporting a bomb threat.
Schwartz says sheriff’s deputies searched the Circuit Court building and found nothing suspicious.
Local and federal authorities determined there was also no threat at the federal building across the street.
Schwartz says the all-clear was given just before 7:30 a.m. and people were allowed back into both buildings.
The evacuation closed Rainbow School, a childcare and preschool facility in the federal building. School officials notified parents the center would be closed for the day.
