Children's Hospital Receives Bomb Threat

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Police were investigating after a bomb threat was made to Children's Hospital Friday afternoon.

However, the hospital was never evacuated and officials say the threat was "unsubstantiated."

"This afternoon, we received an unsubstantiated bomb threat. We immediately contacted Pittsburgh Police and are following our protocols as we work with them to investigate this threat," said a statement from the hospital.

Multiple police agencies were called to the scene, as well as K-9 units. Though, nothing was found and the hospital has since been given and "all clear."

Operations have since gone back to normal.

There's no word on any suspects or how they learned of the threat.
