LANSING, Jan. 4, 2023 ~ Michigan Capitol Building staff and legislators returned to work Thursday after the building was evacuated over a bomb threat the day prior.

A mass email was sent out on the morning of Jan. 3 to several state government agencies across the U.S., which FBI officials later determined to be a hoax with no mention of a suspect at this time. Other states that were forced to evacuate their state capitol buildings due to bomb threats included Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, and Montana.
