"Wave of Hoax Bomb Threats Leads to Evacuations at Multiple State Capitols"
The Kentucky State Capitol was evacuated due to a bomb threat emailed to Secretary of State offices across multiple states, including Kentucky. The threat, received early Wednesday morning, led to a search by Kentucky State Police and K9 units, but no explosives were found. The building was cleared for re-entry by noon. Deputy Secretary of State Jennifer Scutchfield, who received the threat, indicated it might be election-related and noted it wasn't the first such threat they had received. Authorities are investigating the incident, which follows a similar hoax at the Georgia Capitol.
