Bridgeport said in a statement: "At 09:57hrs, the City of Bridgeport ECC received a call regarding a bomb threat at St. Margaret’s Shrine. The Bridgeport Police and Fire Departments were dispatched and determined the call to be a swatting incident. Currently, the Bridgeport Police Department is actively investigating the incident with other law enforcement as other similar calls were received in other jurisdictions.
