MOSCOW (Sputnik) - An assembly plant of US automaker Ford in Clay County in the US state of Missouri has been evacuated and temporarily shut down after the police received a call from a person who claimed to be armed with explosives inside the building, the county sheriff's office said on Wednesday.
"The Clay County Sheriff's Office is investigating a possible threat at the Ford plant in [the village of] Claycomo. At about 5:20 PM today [22:20 GMT], July 18, a call came into Ford's safety and risk management team from a man who claimed to be armed with explosives, a rifle, and a handgun. He said he was barricaded in the second floor bathroom in the paint area of the plant. Ford has ceased all production and evacuated the plant," the office said in a statement.
