Bay Area Home Depot evacuated after phone threat

Managers at the Home Depot in San Rafael cleared the store of customers and employees on Friday after someone phoned in a threat, police said.

The incident happened at about 10:30 a.m. Police searched the Shoreline Parkway store and found nothing suspicious, Lt. Scott Eberle said.

“We are still investigating this,” Eberle said. “It was a phone call that came in with a threat, but it was determined to be unfounded.”

Employees were allowed to go back inside after about an hour.
