The California State Capitol building was evacuated Friday morning due to a reported threat investigation. Sources in the Senate chamber tell CBS News Sacramento that state senators and staff have been told to leave the Capitol building and work remotely for the time being out of an abundance of caution.

The California Capitol was evacuated Friday morning after an email threat, according to local law enforcement. “On December 6, 2024, an email threat was received at the State Capitol,” California Highway Patrol wrote in a post on social platform X.

The Capitol and two office buildings were being evacuated Friday morning after a “threat,” according to memos obtained by The Bee.
