LOS GATOS — The Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center evacuated its facility Thursday in response to a bomb threat, but authorities later determined it was a hoax, officials said.

An alert sent out to the center’s patrons stated that everyone who was in the building when the threat was received was evacuated to the nearby Legacy Community Church. No injuries were reported.

“Everyone is safe,” the center wrote on Twitter.

The threat came via an email received at 11:45 a.m. Officers from Los Gatos-Monte Sereno police and the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office swept the complex, which includes a K-8 school, on Oka Road near Highway 17.

Authorities cleared the building of any danger at 3:50 p.m., police said, adding that a local and federal investigation into the source of the threat is ongoing. Normal operations at the center resumed shortly thereafter.

The threat mirrored similar threats made against Jewish community centers across the country over the past month, including others in the Bay Area.

Last week, former journalist Juan Thompson was arrested in St. Louis on suspicion of making at least eight such threats as part of a bizarre plot to harass and frame his ex-girlfriend, according to federal officials.
