FRANKFORT, Ky. — The state Capitol is once again open after Kentucky State Police evacuated the building to investigate a bomb threat received by the Secretary of State’s office in Frankfort

Secretary of State Michael Adams, R-Ky., shared that the capitol was open once again shortly after noon.

At 10:30 a.m. Gov. Andy Beshear, D-Ky., announced KSP had asked everyone to evacuate the state Capitol but noted, “everyone is safe.” The threat was received as Kentucky lawmakers were meeting in the Capitol annex for ethics training.

The governor said that similar threats were made to other offices across the country.

According to Michon Lindstrom, spokesperson for Adams, the office received an email at 7:45 a.m. addressed to multiple secretary of state offices across the country with a message saying there were “explosives inside of your State Capitol.” The message did not specify which capitol in which state.

The deputy secretary of state forwarded the email to KSP, who then evacuated the building, “out of an abundance of caution,” and dogs brought in to search the building.

Multiple state capitols received threats Wednesday morning that led to evacuations or lockdowns as police investigated, but no evidence of dangerous items was immediately found.

The warnings came after a spate of false reports of shootings at the homes of public officials in recent days.

Connecticut, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi and Montana were among the other states that evacuated their capitols.
