Police responded to a potential shooting threat at Twitch’s headquarters in San Francisco, California on Wednesday and employees were instructed to work from home, according to the Business Insider.
“We were made aware of a threat against our San Francisco HQ on Tuesday, and have been working directly with law enforcement as they investigate,” Twitch said in a statement cited in the report. “The safety and security of our employees is our top priority, and we are focused on ensuring this is resolved quickly and safely.”
“A threat is being made against a business located on the 300 block of Bush Street” Officer Adam Lobsinger of the San Francisco Police Department told Business Insider on Wednesday morning. “We don’t have any suspect or know how credible the threat is at this time.”
According to Kotaku, multiple threats have been made over the past two days, seemingly by the same person, adding; “there was a threat made yesterday,” the officer stated. “The same threat was made today, followed up with ‘The threat is real.’”
The situation is not currently considered an “active threat,” but “our special investigations unit has been notified” the officer concluded.
The San Francisco Police Department has since vacated the offices.
