Earlier today, the Illinois Secretary of State police responded to an Illinois State Police call of a bomb threat outside the Capitol in Springfield. A lockdown of the Capitol complex was initiated and a sweep was conducted for explosive devices. The threat was ultimately not deemed credible and the Capitol was reopened at 1:59 pm. We will provide more information as it becomes available.

Are they catching the people who are calling in these threats?
