The FBI is calling a bomb threat that shut down the Michigan Capitol on Wednesday one of several “hoax incidents” across the country. The FBI takes hoax threats very seriously because it puts innocent people at risk. The Michigan State Police First District said Wednesday afternoon that the threat had been cleared. Michigan is among at least 11 state Capitol buildings to receive threats on Wednesday, including Connecticut, Minnesota, Georgia, Maine, Kentucky, Idaho, Maryland, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Montana. But Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson told the Advance on Thursday that she didn’t “know all of the details” the threat at the Michigan Capitol.
