A bomb threat emailed to officials in several states has briefly disrupted government affairs and prompted some state capitol evacuations, but no explosives have been found and federal officials quickly dismissed the threats as a hoax. Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi and Montana and are among the states that evacuated statehouse offices or buildings on Wednesday morning. The FBI has said it is aware of numerous hoax bomb threats at state Capitol buildings, but that it has “no information to indicate a specific and credible threat.” The threats follow a spate of false reports of shootings at the homes of public officials in recent days.
Multiple state capitols have received bomb threats that led to brief evacuations or lockdowns as police investigated, but no evidence of explosives has been found.
