NORFOLK, Va. – The Naval Criminal Investigative Service is offering a $1,000 reward for information on a bomb threat that left Norfolk Naval Shipyard on lockdown February 14.

A threatening message was discovered on a restroom wall at the shipyard around 9 a.m. that day, coinciding with “false alarm” reports of an active shooter at the shipyard.
