A new level of swatting hit the nation, as threats were made to the capitals of at least nine states.

Included was Connecticut. Threats emailed to state workers prompted the evacuation of the State Capitol Building in Harford. Following a search that included a bomb-sniffing dog, the building was re-opened.


Several states received threats but remained open, including Wyoming, Nebraska, Missouri, Maryland, and Oklahoma.
