The State Capitol Building was evacuated Friday morning after a threat was emailed to a legislative member.

Maine Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Shannon Moss says the threats were made towards two legislators, the State House, and the Maine Democratic Party Building on Water Street in Augusta.

Maine Capitol Police shut down and evacuated the Capitol Building after being made aware of the threats shortly after 7 a.m., when there were about 100 people in the building.

K9 teams from the Maine State Police Bomb Unit responded to clear the Capitol Building, and the homes of the lawmakers and the Water Street building were also cleared.

No explosives were found at any location, and the threat was deemed to be a hoax.

The incident remains under investigation.
