(NewsNation) — Multiple state Capitols received threats Wednesday morning, although authorities say they have not immediately found evidence of dangerous items at these locations.

Among the state Capitols that had to evacuate their buildings were Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi and Montana, according to the Associated Press.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said on X that “everyone is safe” in the Capitol after being asked to evacuate while state police investigated a threat received by the secretary of state’s office.

“We are aware of similar threats made to other offices across the country,” Beshear wrote. “We thank our first responders for their quick response, and we will provide more updates.”

Meanwhile, in Mississippi, the Capitol building was locked down after a bomb threat on the second day of the legislative session. State senators delayed a morning meeting because the building had to be evacuated. The AP writes that bomb-sniffing dogs were circling the area.

Nothing was found, and there is no further threat to the Capitol as of Wednesday morning, Bailey Martin, a spokesperson for the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, said.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
