“This investigation remains active, and there is no ongoing threat to the Capitol or surrounding buildings,” stated Bailey Martin, spokesperson for the Mississippi Department of Public Safety.
While various states received threats, not all took action.
Wyoming reported a “mass email” to state entities but deemed it non-threatening, leading to no closures, according to Wyoming Highway Patrol Lt. Kyle McKay.
Recent days have seen a surge in “swatting” incidents targeting public officials.
US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows were among those affected, with similar incidents involving US Rep.
Brandon Williams, US Sen. Rick Scott, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.
Swatting cases number in the hundreds annually.
