SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) – A bomb threat has prompted Zoo Miami to be evacuated and delay its opening for the day.
7Skyforce hovered above the zoo, located in Southwest Miami-Dade, just after 10:35 a.m. on Tuesday.
Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office and Fire Rescue units were seen near the entrance to the zoo.
Zoo officials initially took to social media to confirm they have closed “due to an unforeseen circumstance,” then posted the following statement:
“We received a potential threat that’s believed to be a hoax. Out of caution, staff were evacuated & a sweep is underway. We will have a delayed opening. There is no immediate threat to the public. Safety remains our priority, and you will be notified once we are cleared to open.”
