Six Flags America: Bomb scare reported at Washington DC-area theme park

A popular theme park outside of Washington, DC, Six Flags America, has reported an apparent bomb threat. 

Officials from the park tweeted that they are working with authorities and the park will remained closed until the area is secured. 

Prince George’s County Fire Department spokesperson Mark Brady said both fire and police departments were investigating at least two “suspicious packages” found before the park was opened. 

Both suspicous packages have been cleared as "non-explosive", and the Fire Department Bomb Squad is sweeping the entire park to ensure its security before reopening. 

Investigators were first on the scene at approximately 10am local time.
