A bomb threat leads to the evacuation of all the Blue Cross Blue Shield Buildings in Chattanooga.

Around 2:00 Friday afternoon someone called reporting a bomb at one of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Buildings in the Downtown area.

A company spokesman tells News 12 the threat was not specific so as a precaution all eight to 10 buildings were evacuated.

Kim Noorbergen with Chattanooga Police said "It's a huge scope I mean it's a lot of area to cover but from what I've talked to the Blue Cross Officials some of the buildings are not the magnitude as the gold building or the one that's on the hill right now some of them are smaller properties."

Instead of waiting for the all clear, workers went home early.
