Dodgers' star Shohei Ohtani targeted by bomb threat, prompting police investigation in South Korea

A reported bomb threat against the Los Angeles Dodgers' newest star Shohei Ohtani prompted a massive investigation in South Korea as the team prepares for their first game of the season in the Seoul Series. 

It took nearly 150 police officers, sniffer dogs, X-ray detectors and other equipment to search Gocheok Sky Dome, in Seoul, South Korea, after learning of a tip that there was a pending threat targeting Ohtani, according to the Associated Press, citing Seoul's Guro police station.

The Associated Press, attributing South Korea's Yonhap News Agency, says that the search was initiated when the country's consulate general in Vancouver, Canada received an email that threatened to detonate the explosion during Wednesday's game.
