Bomb threat closes courthouse
The Cherokee County Courthouse in Columbus, Kan., has been evacuated and closed for the remainder of the day after a bomb threat was received this morning.
The threat was phoned in at 9:25 a.m. just as hearings concluded this morning for Riverton teens charged with felony incitement to riot and felony criminal threat in the alleged school-shooting plot at Riverton High School.
