Clarksville, TN — A bomb threat reported Thursday afternoon at Planet Fitness on Fort Campbell Boulevard appears to have not been a viable threat after no explosive device was discovered, according to an update from the Clarksville Police Department (CPD).
The initial threat was reported after an individual messaged an employee at the Planet Fitness regarding a bomb threat. The call was received by 911 at approximately 2:11pm.
Clarksville Police, Clarksville Fire Rescue, EMS, and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad/EOD responded to the business and established operations around the area while authorities investigated the report.
Following the response and search of the facility, no explosive device was discovered.
Managers at the Fort Campbell Boulevard Planet Fitness have since made the decision to reopen the business and resume normal operations.
