The latest round of evacuations comes after an emailed threat to officials in several states prompted lockdowns at multiple state capitols Wednesday. The threats also follow a spate of false reports of shootings at the homes of public officials in recent days.
The FBI takes hoax threats very seriously because it puts innocent people at risk, Marshay Lawson, a spokesperson for the FBI's Jackson Division, said in a statement. 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.
