DENVER – A bomb threat prompted the evacuation of the Colorado State Capitol for more than an hour early Wednesday afternoon before state patrol gave the all-clear following a complete sweep of the whole building.
The evacuation of the building started at around 12:30 p.m. and was done "out of an abundance of caution" by the Colorado State Patrol as security personnel worked to determine if the threat was credible.
