NORFOLK, Va. Authorities halted two buses Thursday outside the Norfolk Naval Station (search) after an unidentified caller mentioned a bus and warned city police, "a lot of people are going to die."
An undetermined number of passengers were removed from the buses, base spokeswoman Jennifer Carl said.
The buses, which had been en route to the base, were diverted to the nearby Fleet Recreational Park, where authorities searched them for bombs, Carl said.
The caller referred to a Hampton Roads Transit (search) bus and the Navy base early Thursday morning and cited the number 936, she said.
"The caller said, 'A lot of people are going to die,"' Carl said.
Uncertain whether the number was a time or a bus number, authorities at the base gate stopped bus No. 936 and another bus that tried to enter at 9:36 a.m., she said.
The naval station is the largest U.S. naval base anywhere in the world.
