LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police said there were reports of weapons being brandished at two locations within BlueOval SK property in Glendale, Kentucky on Tuesday night.
Hardin County Sheriff's Office said police are investigating the report. Police said there was a report of an active shooter, but there wasn't an active shooter at the location.
A spokesperson with BlueOval SK said the company is cooperating with authorities on the incident.
Last month, the construction site for BlueOval SK was evacuated after a bomb threat. The site was evacuated and authorities were notified.
BlueOval SK is a 50-50 partnership between Ford and Korean technology company SK On. Ford has poured about $3 billion into BlueOval SK since it was formed three years ago, according to the company’s latest annual report.
BlueOval SK will produce batteries for Ford and Lincoln EVs and is a lynchpin of the company’s strategy to make profitable electric models while taking advantage of generous federal tax credits for United States production of batteries and their components.
The Kentucky BlueOval SK factories represent the biggest economic development project, at nearly $6 billion, in state history. However, Ford last year indefinitely paused the start of production at the second Kentucky factory as part of a plan to delay about $12 billion in EV investments.
