Authorities are searching for the person who called in a bomb threat at the same Cobb County bank where police shot and killed a veteran who held two employees hostage earlier this month.

Police evacuated the Wells Fargo on Windy Hill Road near Marietta, according to Channel 2 Action News.

The incident comes 11 days after Marine veteran Brian Easley was found dead after a July 7 standoff at the bank.

During an hourlong talk with a Channel 2 assignment editor, Easley complained about the military and claimed he had a bomb strong enough to destroy the building.

Police say there was a total of four teens in the car at the time of the accident.
