As that investigation continues, mayor Sorace says she's focusing on supporting those affected by Saturday’s threats.
It's been two days since part of downtown Lancaster was temporarily evacuated after a series of bomb threats were made against individuals and organizations leading a drag queen story hour.News 8 spoke exclusively with Lancaster Mayor Danene Sorace about this weekend’s events and the fear it’s brought to the community. 'I think this weekend was really upsetting, particularly for our LGBTQ+ community, and the threats of violence have no place in our community,' Sorace said.
The threats followed a suspicious package found outside the library during a pre-planned sweep. Police have now shared that the package, which contained children's coloring books, was expected by the library and mailed by the United States Postal Service.But even though no explosives were found, the emailed threats can still be prosecuted, a process police say can take time.
