Authorities Evacuate Multiple State Capitols Over Mass-Email Bomb Threats

State Capitols across the nation endured hours of lockdown after officials received bomb threats. Authorities swung into action after mass emails warned about bombs planted in these public buildings. 

At least seventeen states had their public buildings thoroughly examined for explosives. These states include Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, and Montana. Others are Wisconsin, Hawaii, Maine, Oklahoma, Illinois, Idaho, South Dakota, Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, and Maryland. 

State officials have informed the FBI about the bomb threats. The agency released a statement acknowledging multiple reports of bomb threats across the nation. 

The statement read that the agency “takes hoax threats very seriously because it puts innocent people at risk.” The statement, however, mentioned that the bureau has “no information to indicate a specific and credible threat.”

But the agency assured that it will “continue to work with our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners to gather, share, and act upon threat information as it comes to our attention.” 

In Hawaii, members of the state senate received bomb threats via email, which prompted the evacuation of the state Capitol in Honolulu. While confirming the report, the Hawaii Department of Law Enforcement mentioned that authorities responded accordingly. Security agencies evacuated the Capitol and conducted a thorough search. 

The building was reopened by 9:30 am on Wednesday, January 3, 2024. The Department mentioned that the building was free of any explosive materials. 

Kentucky had its share of disturbance on the same day. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, a Democrat, reported the incident on his X account.

He disclosed that the Secretary of State’s office received a threat that prompted the Kentucky State Police to evacuate the Capitol. “We are aware of similar threats made to other offices across the country,” the governor stated. 

Multiple government staff also received threats at the Connecticut Capitol on Wednesday morning. They promptly reported the threats to the Capitol police. Connecticut Capitol Police spokesman Greg Wimble shared some details with the public. 

“It was an email that somebody had claimed to have placed multiple explosives within our capitol building,” he disclosed to the press. 

The threat led to the closure of the Capitol and a nearby building. A bomb squad swept the building and was satisfied with its safety before staff returned to resume the day’s business.

Georgia also had its scare at its Capitol building on the same day. An employee received a hoax email, which was reported to the relevant security agencies. Afterward, according to Georgia State Patrol spokeswoman Courtney Floyd, a search was conducted on the building before regular activities resumed. 

In Minnesota, the situation was a little more dramatic as bomb threats abruptly halted oral arguments at the state’s Supreme Court. Minnesota Capitol Police also locked down the building in response to reports of bomb threats to other state Capitols. 

Bomb threats aren’t anything to play with, especially as the January 6th episode is still fresh on many minds. However, authorities are still puzzled about the fact that these bomb threats targeted both red and blue states. Hopefully, it’s just someone or a group of people up to mischief and nothing more.
