Lot going on downtown this morning.
A bomb threat has been reported at the edge of Jackson Square in the French Quarter, New Orleans police said at 9:30 a.m. Friday.
Officers are at St. Ann and Decatur streets and they are asking the public to avoid the location. They said a suspicious device has been found at the location.
Decatur Street is closed from Wilkerson to Dumaine streets, according to Mayor LaToya Cantrell.
Very important to note that the bomb threat is in no way related to the individual barricaded inside of a building just a few blocks away. These are separate events.
Police are also asking the public to avoid the 500 block of Dauphine Street in the French Quarter. They said someone has barricaded themselves inside a building and police are at the scene.
NOPD did not say why the person is barricaded inside, but did say the police activity on Dauphine is not related to the bomb threat near Jackson Square. The Dauphine Street situation is not a SWAT roll, NOPD said just before 10 a.m.
Happy Holidays
