Suspect arrested for threatening Texas lawmakers, forcing evacuation of state Capitol

Suspect arrested for threatening Texas lawmakers, forcing evacuation of state Capitol
SHARE

A suspect was taken into custody for making threats against Texas lawmakers shortly after a tragic incident in Minnesota where a lawmaker was killed and another was injured. The Texas Capitol in Austin was evacuated by authorities on Saturday due to a credible threat to lawmakers who were planning to attend a protest later that day.

Law enforcement officers secured the area as a precaution, and the Capitol and its grounds were cleared. The Texas Department of Public Safety stated that they would work with other law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety of everyone involved. A suspect was apprehended near La Grange following a traffic stop, although their identity was not disclosed.

The threat in Texas occurred on the same day as a masked gunman, pretending to be a police officer, carried out a targeted attack in Minnesota. The suspect, Vance Boelter, was arrested after a manhunt. Both incidents raised concerns about the safety of politicians and the prevalence of violence targeting them.

Officials from Texas, including Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, acknowledged the frequency of death threats against public figures. Patrick emphasized the need to take all threats seriously, distinguishing between free speech complaints and criminal acts like the one in Minnesota. Rep. Rhetta Bowers condemned the violence and expressed worry about the increasing threats faced by elected officials nationwide.

Governor Greg Abbott also denounced the violence in Minnesota and emphasized the importance of allowing state officials to carry out their duties without fear of intimidation. The tragic events served as a stark reminder of the risks faced by those in public service and the need to prioritize safety above all else.
