Hawaii missile alert on smartphones was false alarm

An emergency alert notification that

a

went out Saturday warning of a missile strike on Hawaii was a false alarm, state officials said.

"Hawaii - This is a false alarm. There is no incoming missile to Hawaii," read a tweet from congressional Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. "I have confirmed with officials there is no incoming missile."

In her tweet, Gabbard included a screengrab from a phone, showing the bogus alert, which went out Saturday morning and read, "Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill."
