Overview
- Workers at the Capitol Annex construction site and Senate staff in the Capitol's West Wing were asked to evacuate after the construction team reported a threat.
- The Secretary of the Senate alerted staff and construction crews were seen gathered on the Capitol west steps as officials cleared the sites.
- The California Highway Patrol inspected and assessed the area and officials said there is currently no reason to believe the threat is credible.
- Nearby state office buildings, including the Legislative Office Building and the 1021 O Street swing space, were not evacuated and continued normal operations.
- The annex is a major $1.2 billion office project for lawmakers and the governor, and authorities say further updates on credibility or any operational impacts will follow as the inspection continues.
