Tesla Workers Warned of ‘Active Attacker’ Near Texas Gigafactory

Tesla employees in Texas received an alert early Friday telling them to “take cover” due to an “active attacker” at the automaker’s gigafactory in Austin, according to a report.

KVUE journalist Pamela Comme posted an image online of the email sent to staff along with video footage appearing to show a panicked scene of people yelling and fleeing away from the factory. She added that workers “started running” as police arrived at the scene and said everyone “needs to leave right now!”
