Terror Threat Called Into January Lakers Game

Terror Threat Called Into January Lakers Game

With all the events in recent months, people are on high alert for terror attacks — both domestic and ISIS-related. But there was yet another pretty close call on American soil at a high profile event back in January, and no one was even aware…until now. TMZ acquired search warrants trying to find the anonymous Skype caller that warned of a mass shooting and multiple explosions slated to take place at the January 29 Clippers vs. Lakers game at the Staples Center:

Someone called the cops exactly one minute before tip off at a Lakers/Clippers game to inform them terrorists were in the crowd with bombs and guns and their mission was to kill in the name of Jihad.

TMZ has obtained an LAPD search warrant chronicling a chilling phone call received by an LAPD officer at 7:29 PM on January 29, 2016. According to the warrant, a “robotic voice” stated the following: “Several people in the crowd seated strategically have explosives strapped to their chest and explosives in their shoes.”

The voice went on to say, “Some of them are also strapped with Glock 18, have guns and will shoot any patron that may come in their path. We are doing this for Allah and for Jihad. We are going to slaughter the patrons of tonight’s Lakers/Clippers game and there is no one that can stop us.”

The caller wasn’t done … “We have people hostage in some of the bathrooms already and we shot one in the knee cap. You are all going to f***** die tonight, you filthy Americans.”

Thankfully, the game went on without incident. But a threat that serious is definitely frightening. Officials are still searching for the responsible parties, but so far they’ve come up with nothing…
