The Democratic National Convention was hit with a security scare on Tuesday as cops investigated multiple bomb threats in downtown Chicago.
Several hotels near the convention reported getting statements that sparked searches from the police.
The threats said pipe bombs had been placed in the Hotel Chicago West Loop and the Hyatt House Chicago, Fox 32 reported.
Officers also searched the Nobu Hotel.
The threats mentioned the four-day DNC happening at the United Center and made ‘anti-Semitic statements’.
The city is already on edge with an enormous police presence and thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters turning up every day.
On Monday there were also at least nine shootings across a city that has been plagued by gun violence.
