LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Lincoln Police are investigating threats that led to the cancellation of an event at the Lincoln Children’s Museum.
The museum was scheduled to host OutNebraska ‘drag queen story hour’ event this weekend.
LCM says the event was private and scheduled to take place at a time when the museum is closed to the public.
LCM says both they and OutNebraska “have both received an overwhelming number of threats of violence against our organizations, many going as far as death threats.”
The museum says canceling the event “breaks out hearts,” but said the safety of their visitors, staff, exhibits and building are their top priority.
LPD confirmed to Channel 8 they are investigating several threats made regarding the event.
It’s unclear at this time who issued the threats.
