Bomb Threat At Building In Downtown Concord Where U.S. Rep. Maggie Goodlander Has An Office: Video

CONCORD, NH — Police and New Hampshire State Police K-9s were sent to a bomb threat report in Downtown Concord in the building where U.S. Rep. Maggie Goodlander has an office.

Concord police received a report around 4 p.m. of a potential threat at 18 N. Main St, a report of a bomb in the building. Officers closed most of North Main Street between School and Pleasant streets around 4:15 p.m., as well as side streets. Radio chatter was limited during the incident. New Hampshire State Police K-9 units and the bomb squad were requested to search the building.

Mark Ciborowski of Ciborowski Associations LLC, the owner of the building, was requested. He was seen speaking to officers and then left at around 5:15 p.m.

Not long after, the K-9s came out of the building and troopers gave the all clear.

Police reopened North Main Street around 5:30 p.m.

In a statement Friday night, police said after searching the building, the threat was dispelled and there was no threat to the public, at this time.

While North Main Street was closed, police were also sent to Integra Drive after someone reported seeing dozens of propane tanks collected near the entrance to homeless camps in the area, raising concerns about it. The tanks, police said, were wired together.

Five officers, the state police bomb squad, as well as two unmarked pickup trucks, arrived. Officers searched the camp areas, spoke with several people, and determined the propane tanks were not a danger.

Goodlander is one of six Democrats who appeared in a video calling on military personnel to defy illegal orders, without citing exactly what illegal orders should be defied. U.S. Sens. Elissa Slotkin, of Michigan, and Mark Kelly, of Arizona, as well as U.S. Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan, both of Pennsylvania, and Jason Crow, of Colorado, appeared in the video along with Goodlander.

The comments were condemned by Republicans, including Senate President Sharon Carson of Londonderry, a U.S. Army veteran and mother of an Officer in the U.S. Army Reserves, who called on her to resign. She called the comments reckless, saying they would undermine military discipline and put troops in harm’s way.

NHGOP Chairman Jim MacEachern called the comments embarrassing and dangerous and called on her to retract them and apologize.

President Trump also posted on his Truth Social account that the comments were dangerous to the country and “seditious behavior, punishable by death,” due to be treasonous comments and the behavior of traitors.

On Thursday afternoon, the Democrats stood by the comments, saying servicemembers swear an oath to the Constitution, not military leaders or the president.

Both cases remain active and ongoing investigations.
