Bomb threats prompted the evacuation of schools and government buildings for a second day on Friday in an Ohio community that has been the focus of unwanted attention after former President Donald Trump amplified false rumors that Haitian immigrants are abducting and eating pets. After an emailed threat that said bombs had been planted in the homes of Springfield’s mayor and other city officials as well as Springfield City Hall, a high school, a middle school, two elementary schools, a local office of the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and a licensing bureau, authorities evacuated buildings and cleared them with explosive-detection dogs.
