The Iowa State Patrol is investigating a threat to the Iowa State Capitol building.
The social media threat was reported around 12:45 Saturday afternoon by the United States Capitol Police. The Iowa Department of Public Safety investigated and assessed the threat and determined it to not be credible.
Out of an abundance of caution, the State Fire Marshal’s Office and the Iowa State Patrol swept the capitol building and located nothing of concern. The building was cleared at 1:30 p.m., and all normal activities at the capitol resumed later in the day.
