Statehouse evacuated after hoax bomb threat in Des Moines
Gov. Terry Branstad and Capitol officials ordered an evacuation of the Iowa Statehouse after a bomb threat reported at 8:47 a.m. Police later found no devices. Investigators suspect the call was a diversion for a bank robbery nearby. The all clear came around 10 a.m. with security reviewing procedures for future threats.
