Threats made at Mississippi airports
(WTOK) – Tupelo Regional Airport received an emailed bomb threat Thursday, as did at least one other Mississippi airport, which prompted an evacuation of passengers and employees. A bomb detection dog was used in the search and clearing of airport facilities.
Scott Costello with the City of Tupelo said officials at Tupelo Regional gave an all-clear mid-morning, with a return to normal operations.
News 11 reached out to Meridian Regional Airport and has not received a response.
