GALVESTON – Police responded to the 2200 block of Seawall Boulevard Thursday afternoon following another reported bomb threat.

The police presence was observed at approximately 1:30 p.m. Nov. 12, with officers seen running along the Seawall carrying rifles.

City of Galveston spokeswoman Marissa Barnett confirmed to KGTX 7 that the incident involved another bomb hoax.

A series of bomb hoaxes have been reported throughout Galveston county, since at least December of 2025.

No word yet on if this incident is connected, nor if the actors from the original hoaxes have been identified.

Thank you for your response. ✨
