BREAKING: Bomb Threat at State Capitol

An Austinist reader just alerted us that a bomb threat was called into the State Capitol this morning. As of 10am, the building has been locked-down; no one is being admitted in through the doors or tunnels, and folks are allowed to leave (though an evacuation order hasn't yet been issued).We'll keep you posted.

Update: (11:10am) People are now being admitted into the building.

To the dumbass who mad the threat:

Not sure if you know it, but the Lege session ended a couple of weeks ago- you're talking about bombing a building full of the worker drones, instead of when it could do the most good^h^h^h^h harm.
