 SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - An early morning bomb threat prompted an investigation and closure of the main gate to Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado.The gate closure at 3rd Street and Alameda Boulevard was initiated just after 5 a.m., after a bomb threat was called in, according to Navy officials. Navy officials told 10News their investigators are "checking credibility of the threat" and a military bomb squad will evaluate the area. Navy officials said they are unsure how long the closure and investigation will last. Officials advise all sailors who work on the base to contact their chain of command to inquire about work alternatives.
