There has been another incident at the BlueOval SK construction site in Glendale.

The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office and Kentucky State Police issued an all-clear Tuesday night at 10:45 after reports of an active shooter at the site.

“The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office and KSP searched the areas in question concerning an active shooter on the BlueOval site,” Hardin County Sheriff John Ward said. “Nothing was located …”

Police, though, continue to investigate a report of firearms being brandished at the work site.

“There are reports of a weapon being brandished at two different locations within BlueOval SK property, and we are investigating those reports at this time,” Ward said late Tuesday night.

This comes on the heels of two bomb threats at the site over an eight-day period in late February.

Both threats were found inside a port-a-potty. The first bomb threat was written on a checklist found in a port-a-potty, the second threat was discovered written on the interior wall of a port-a-potty.

Both bomb threats were discovered to be unfounded.
