GLENDALE, Calif. -- Police have given the all-clear after several buildings in Glendale, including the ABC7 Broadcast Center, were evacuated because of a bomb threat Wednesday afternoon.

ABC7 broadcasted Eyewitness News at 4 p.m. from a lawn outside while a bomb squad and search dogs went through the building.

Nothing was found, and everyone was let back inside around 4:30 p.m.

Everyone is safe and sound, and police gave ABC7 the all-clear to return to normal operations.
