Aaron Hernandez Murder Trial Halted By Bomb Threat At Courthouse

The Aaron Hernandez trial was interrupted Thursday afternoon because of a bomb threat at the Bristol Superior Court courthouse.

The threat was called in around noon, according to The Boston Globe. A security officer confirmed to WCVB the threat was called into the Fall River Justice Center in Massachusetts.

The entire building was evacuated, ESPN’s Michele Steele reports, and everyone was asked to stay across the street.
