Building near Cobb Galleria evacuated

For the second time this week, a building at an office park near the Cobb Galleria has been evacuated due to a bomb threat.

According to Channel 2 Action News, police evacuated the building after a Bank of America employee found a threatening note near Building 300.

The note was discovered just after 11 a.m., Cobb police Sgt. Dana Pierce said.

On Monday, a note referencing the deadly Orlando nightclub shooting prompted the evacuation of several office buildings at an office park near the Cobb Galleria. That evacuation came one day after the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. Early Sunday, at least 50 people were killed and 53 others injured at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando.
