Police have ordered everybody out of the Target store on Sepulveda Boulevard in Manhattantarget1.jpg Beach.

Apparently, there's a bomb threat. At this point, we have no real information on whether it's a phone threat or an actual bomb or just some suspicious package.

Sounds like a good place to stay away from for a while.

We'll update later.

Here's the update: It's all over and nothing exploded. Still don't really know what happened, but police surrounded the place and kept everybody out. We'll try to get more.

I was there during my lunch hour. Originally the workers advised the shoppers to proceed to checkout as they had to close the store momentarily. Once everyone went to checkout the officers came in and told everyone to get out immediately... No information was given. they did advise the shoppers to stay away from the store...
