BREAKING!

We are tracking an incident in eastern Kentucky at this hour. A bomb threat got called in, saying an IED was aboard a Greyhound bus on I-75, heading north towards Lexington, KY.

The bus has been found, I-75 has been shut down in both directions near the Mount Vernon, KY area.

State Police, Emergency Management and first responders are on scene. The bus has been evacuated and the passengers are being searched; the bomb dogs are about to go over the bus.

Local news might be breaking it shortly. They have no more details than I do...

interesting. no screening of luggage on Greyhound, but the bomb threat being called in doesn't match a terrorist MO.
