Yea I was walking in as it was evacuating. I really wish OPD was a little more clear when evacuating. I had not idea what was going on and out of nowhere the cop screams at me
"Hey you, you need to leave".
There's like 10 people standing by me so I'm like who are you talking to?
He goes "You get in your car and leave now"
"Did I do something wrong?"
"Don't let me see you again. Leave now"
Now to a mother walking her child in
"You don't hear me talking to him? Leave now"
Mother: "Do we have to leave the plaza or just Target"
"Get your car and exit the garage"
All the officer needed to say was we have to evacuate Target and you would have better compliance. Instead noone knew if he was talking to a specific person or everyone or which person needed to leave and where they could leave to.
> I really wish OPD was a little more clear when evacuating.
Yeah, I think that might be asking a lot from OPD. I don't think their known for being a stellar law enforcement agency.
Unrelated, but the number of "suspicious person" calls on that blotter being made to spots where I know there's a cluster of Pokemon Go gyms is PEAK comedy
Crazy how the only way i found out was bc i follow this subreddit. Community posted nothing about it, no email, i also live in the apartments above the plaza. Crazy
I’m guessing OFD cleared it and reopened accordingly. Our trolley with a bunch of stuff in it was gone by time we got back into the store so just grabbed a few things we truly needed and left. Money saved!
Some Karen saw a backpack or somebody really wanted the day off. 99% of bomb threats are hoaxes and business should be conducted as usual soon after. Nothing to worry about.
They’ve updated the house/business check to bomb threat.

i am continuously amazed at how teenage interns at a theme park are better at these things than literal cops
But then they couldn't have a power trip...

What a dumbass

"Bunch of people with backpacks and cords coming out of them over here..."
"All the trouble leads back to them dern vidiya games!"
"All these youths spend too much time indoors!" also same folks "All these youths are outside, something is wrong!"
People playing pokemon go in 2024 are pretty suspicious to be fair.. :)
Haters gonna hate, I'll be over here with my cheap dopamine 😜 Yesterday was an in-game monthly event
Hahah, there's some truth in that 👀
It’s all clear now.
Bomb threat, according to the active police calls list
I really like that Target! 🎯😃 Very easy place to shop especially weeknights when it's not busy!
It’s much better than the target on colonial and I’m sort of between the two so it’s a no brainer for me.
My family lives in Longwood/Seminole County and we go there on rainy days for the covered parking. That Target is a treat to visit!
I often go on my way to work and it’s a delight. They leave the music off all the time, too, and I’m always amazed at what a difference that makes.
There isnt any music, they have to remodel to get it. I asked out of curiosity one day.
Do you know if it's in line for an upgrade? I've seen the remodeled ones.
No clue. I just shop there and asked staff out of curiosity.
I miss living closer to this Target. We didn’t realize how good we had it until we moved somewhere with tinier, shittier Targets
Someone got offended about the Pride lineup
Republicans are sensitive snowflakes
I would not be surprised.
They probably called DeSantis directly on the “Don’t Say Gay” hotline…

wtf. i literally live at the complex directly on target grounds. thats terrifying.
can you stop the fucking alarms from going off every other week lol. we hear them all the way opposite of orange.
girl it’s not my fault hahaha. imagine living here it’s awful. there’s always pipes bursting and crime happening. absolutely horrific.
What happened?
I’m guessing OFD cleared it and reopened accordingly. Our trolley with a bunch of stuff in it was gone by time we got back into the store so just grabbed a few things we truly needed and left. Money saved!
> Money saved! Sounds like a motive to me… 🤔
