The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge that connects Northern Kentucky and Ohio was closed for several hours Wednesday morning due to a bomb threat, according to Covington police and multiple reports from Cincinnati. At around 5:23 a.m., Kenton County dispatchers received a bomb threat from an unknown person, police said. WCPO in Cincinnati reported that a man threatened to shoot police and put pipe bombs on the bridge. He reportedly demanded $400,000. A Covington police captain told WCPO 'every agency you can think of' responded to the scene.
