The state Capitol in Lansing is reopened to legislators and staffers following a security sweep Thursday morning. That’s after the building was closed due to a phoned-in bomb threat.
“The building is officially closed due to the health department standards and COVID, but if you’re a member or a staffer in the building, you can swipe and come to work,” he said.
Blackshaw says the call came about 6:40 in the morning and the all-clear was given around 9.
The Michigan State Police said in a statement the building was swept electronically and by a K-9 unit before it was declared safe for legislators and staff with clearance to enter. They added that more details won’t be released while the threat is under investigation.
