A bomb threat was communicated to the Hollywood Park Casino in California on Tuesday. The premises were examined, and no explosive device was discovered.
The bomb scare and the mistaken report of a shooter caused cardroom patrons to leave the Inglewood, Calif. gaming venue.
"Once they started leaving, people started panicking,” Randal Taylor of Bonita Springs, Fla., told Los Angeles TV station KTLA. “There was a mad rush of people running, hiding under the tables because they thought it was an active shooter.”
Officers from the Inglewood Police Department and a bomb squad were dispatched.
Subsequently, Taylor learned of speculation that the bomb threat originated from an individual who lost money at the cardroom.
