CSP Trooper Josh Lewis told local media that it was not immediately known whether the threat was received via email, social media or phone call. Lewis said that CSP alerted people in the Capitol about he threat and carried out room to room evacuation.

Lewis told FOX31 that it wasn’t a busy day in the Capitol and there were only dozens of people that needed to be evacuated. 

Nearly 30 minutes after the news of the bomb threat, the Colorado State Patrol said that there was “no threat” found and the “building is clear for reentry.”

Earlier this month, an alleged bomb threat at a college in Colorado prompted an evacuation.

The Fort Lewis College Facebook page posted a statement at the time saying that the Art Building on campus was being emptied due to an apparent threat.

The college, located in Durango on the southwest side of the state, later issued a statement saying that an all clear was given after no threat was found on the campus.

“The Fort Lewis College campus is open again, July 7, 2022. Law enforcement investigated a bomb threat to the Art Hall—they did not find a bomb or any evidence of a bomb. Law enforcement is clearing the scene along with Durango Fire. The Art Hall will remain closed for the evening out of an abundance of caution, reopening at 7 a.m. tomorrow. All other parts of campus have reopened for normal operations,” the statement read.
