Capitol open again after 90-minute delay from bomb threat

MADISON - The Wisconsin state Capitol is open after a bomb threat led to a 90-minute evacuation of the building and grounds.

The evacuation occurred shortly before 4 p.m. Wednesday as lawmakers in the state Assembly were in the middle of budget debate. Police cleared both the building and grounds around the Capitol square where hundreds of people were gathering for an outdoor concert.
