Police are already evacuating several stores in Tupelo, Mississippi, after the unidentified pilot made the threat.

Authorities also started evacuating residents from the area and dispersed as many people as possible. They asked all citizens to avoid the area until further instructions. Officials added that with the mobility of the aircraft, the danger zone is much larger than the surrounding area.

 


The Tupelo police department said they are in contact with the pilot who threatened to intentionally crash the plane. The Daily Mail quoted governor Tate Reeves who said, “The state law enforcement and emergency managers are closely tracking this dangerous situation. All citizens should be on alert and aware of updates from the Tupelo Police Department.”
