Bomb threats were emailed to officials in several states early on January 3, 2024, briefly disrupting operations and evacuations at some state capitol buildings. No explosives were found. The FBI said it was aware of numerous hoax bomb threats at state capitol buildings but had "no information to indicate a specific and credible threat." The threats come after recent "swatting" calls targeting public officials. Swatting involves making a false emergency call to provoke a police response.
