Overview

• The Texas Department of Public Safety evacuated the Capitol Complex at 1 p.m. Saturday after identifying a credible threat to lawmakers heading to the ‘No Kings’ protest.
• The evacuation followed a politically motivated shooting in Minnesota that killed State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband and injured Sen. John Hoffman and his wife.
• Investigators have identified former Walz appointee Vance Luther Boelter as the suspect in the Minnesota attack, and flyers for the ‘No Kings’ rally were found in his abandoned vehicle.
• Minnesota police urged residents to avoid all ‘No Kings’ rallies until Boelter is captured amid fears of further targeted violence.
• Law enforcement agencies have kept the Capitol grounds closed as they collaborate on an ongoing investigation and assess risks before any resumption of public access.
