Park Police arrived with canine units, and the center was evacuated Thursday morning. The threat targeted Shen Yun performances, a spokesperson said.

Shen Yun Performing Arts will continue to put on a show despite a bomb threat forcing evacuations at the Kennedy Center on Thursday morning. According to the Shen Yun Performing Arts website, Thursday night was the first night of performances that were scheduled to take place until March 2.

A bomb threat at the Kennedy Center prompted an evacuation and road closures Thursday afternoon, but security has since given the all-clear, and performances will proceed as scheduled, according to a center spokesperson.
