(UPDATE) According to the Ft Sill CID Office, there is no current credible information regarding this threat to US Service members. Coordination with LPD determined the information concerning the threat report by the 107 Hoover Crips to Fort Sill Soldiers to be unsubstantiated. During the course of the investigation it has been determined this is an isolated incident with no gang or drug connection.
