CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The YWCA on Corona Drive abruptly closed its doors Thursday morning after police responded to a disturbance at the facility.
Police said the disturbance involved a man described as very upset who called the front desk. No information was released on what the man was upset about or what he told the front desk.
Shortly after police arrived, the YWCA posted on social media to say they were closing Thursday and Friday because of what they described as "unforeseen circumstances."
The statement says they will return to regular operating hours on Saturday.
The YWCA released the following statement late Thursday afternoon.
“YWCA Corpus Christi received calls from an unidentified individual this morning which constituted a threat to the safety of our association and staff. The Corpus Christi Police Department was called and responded immediately. CCPD is investigating the matter.
The health and safety of our staff and program participants is our priority. And out of an abundance of caution YWCA Corpus Christi closed all programming scheduled for today and tomorrow and will reassess the situation prior to reopening.
We want to thank the CCPD for their responsiveness and our partners for their support during this moment. We will share more information as we are able with the understanding that our priority is the safety of our staff, board, and program participants and the swift resolution of the police investigation.”
