Police address rumors of "Day of Rage"

NEWS RELEASE
LONGMONT PUBLIC SAFETY
***********************************

Longmont Public Safety, in partnership with Out Boulder, would like to address the rumors circulating in the community.

Several local Christian-based entities received information naming today, Friday, March 31, 2023, as the "Day of Rage" or "Trans Day of Vengeance," in which an unnamed group or groups of individuals would target and vandalize Christian locations adjacent to the I-25 corridor in Colorado.  The information does not provide any specific details.

At this time, nothing has been found to associate with a credible threat in Colorado.  Some religious institutions in Colorado, out of caution, have taken precautionary steps and closed.

Should you observe any illegal activity, please call 911 or contact the Longmont Police Department at 303-651-8501.
