WASHINGTON — Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, on Tuesday was abruptly pulled from an event at a Washington, D.C., high school after officials received a report of a bomb threat, authorities said.
The Black History Month event at Dunbar High School, which was attended by reporters and at least three high school staff members, lasted about five minutes. That’s when a U.S. Secret Service agent turned to Emhoff and said, “We have to go.” Agents quickly hustled the second gentleman out of the room. Within a few minutes, students and teachers were also ordered to evacuate.
A spokesperson for the Washington public schools confirmed that the incident was sparked by a bomb threat.
