Police officers are seen during a lockdown of the Maryland State House in Annapolis, Md. on Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024. The building was locked down for an undisclosed security threat.
ANNAPOLIS —The Maryland State House was locked down late Thursday afternoon after an anonymous phone threat was made, officials said.
Reporters with offices on the ground floor of the building were told to lock their doors shortly after 5 p.m. by an aide to Maryland House Speaker Adrienne A. Jones. About 30 minutes later, police escorted reporters out of the building.
An Associated Press reporter saw an officer hurrying up a staircase with his gun drawn. State employees were also evacuating the building.

Probably an Evil Christian Nationalist.
We all know how violent they are

A college here was locked down for an undisclosed threat this week.
All that they would release is that the threat came from ‘overseas’.
Expect to see more of this as they establish protocols for disruption.

“someone made an anonymous threat to the State House via phone sometime Thursday”
Sounds a little like swatting
I can guarantee it’s not a Maryland Conservative. For one thing, we don’t do that sort of thing. For another, the lunatic asylum seems to have learned their lesson and don’t have many anti 2A infringements on the schedule this year.
Good things guns are banned there! Must be cop on cop violence! ?

The local talk station has a very conservative state delegate on right now. He wasn’t in the building but said that there’s no new info on what caused the lockdown.
This story is from February 29. As of this morning, the lockdown was lifted. Apparently the lockdown was initiated as a result of a threatening call.
Probably they were locked down because some citizen entered and was going to tell them to get to work.
Pronouns being fired.
Did a Democrat legislator pull the fire alarm?
Those cops look like the famous Seguin F Troops

Phony crap!
Or they saw someone carrying a Bible.
I’m guessing sex in the chambers between non-binary things.
It’s a Democrat-controlled State House, so my guess is a legislator saw someone making the Sign of the Cross and freaked out.
“Sounds a little like swatting”
Rattling the cage to test the reaction.
