A “noticeably agitated” man threatened to firebomb a Juneau health clinic in Thursday afternoon and prompted a lockdown, according to the SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium.
SEARHC says the incident began when a man demanded to see his provider at the Juneau Behavioral Health Clinic on Salmon Creek Lane.
The provider was busy. The consortium said the man became increasingly upset, yelled profanities and said he had weapons and bombs at home. He threatened to return and firebomb the building.
The man left and SEARHC contacted the authorities. The building was evacuated. Security swept the building early Friday. Routine business has resumed at the clinic, though the exterior doors will remain locked until further notice and nearby offices are on alert.
Neither SEARHC nor the Juneau Police Department released the man’s name. In a press release, police said he had a history of similar threats, but had not acted on them. Police are searching for him.
Police did not immediately return calls for comment.
