The Springfield I know is not the one you hear about in social media rumors. It is a city made up of good, decent, welcoming people.

but also

Bomb threats — all hoaxes — continue and temporarily closed at least two schools, put the hospital on lockdown and shuttered City Hall. The two local colleges have gone remote. I have posted Ohio Highway Patrol troopers in each school building in Springfield so the schools can remain open,

Idk for sure, but I suspect those threats aren't being made by Springfield residents. Threats began after being amplified in national media by the trump campaign.
