The California Highway Patrol's Capitol Protection Section said the threat was 'thoroughly investigated and determined to be unfounded.' All three buildings have been cleared and deemed safe.
Law enforcement conducted a thorough assessment and sweep of the Capitol Complex. No suspicious items were located following the search, allowing the buildings to reopen.
Around 9 a.m., California State Parks tour guide Joe Wolfenden was told he and others needed to leave the building immediately due to a threat, which is 'very uncommon'.
The threat was made by email, and while the nature of it was not disclosed, officials confirmed the buildings were reopened safely by 1 p.m.
