False bomb threats were made to more than 20 state Capitols on Wednesday, Courthouse News reports. The Michigan State Police said that a threat was made involving the Michigan State Capitol Building via an email sent to a general account for the Michigan State Capitol Commission on Wednesday morning. Michigan is among at least 11 states to receive threats on Wednesday, including Connecticut, Minnesota, Georgia, Maine, Kentucky, Idaho, Maryland, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Montana.
Threats were also emailed to secretary of state accounts in several states. “The FBI is aware of the incident in Lansing and numerous other hoax incidents wherein a bomb threat at a state Capitol is made,” Gabrielle Szlenkier of the FBI office in Detroit said Thursday. “However, I cannot provide any further details at this time. The FBI takes hoax threats very seriously because it puts innocent people at risk. While we have no information to indicate a specific and credible threat, we 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.”
