Capitol Police Declare Bomb Threat at DNC Headquarters Not Credible

On September 11, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters in Washington, D.C., was evacuated and searched following a bomb threat that was later deemed not credible by the U.S. Capitol Police. Authorities responded promptly to the potential threat, conducting thorough sweeps inside and around the building, but found no explosives or suspicious devices. The incident occurred amid heightened security concerns following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk the previous day and an increase in politically motivated violence nationwide. DNC Chair Ken Martin condemned all forms of political violence, emphasizing that such acts have no place in the country. The bomb threat also coincided with lockdowns and threats at several historically Black colleges and universities, further underscoring the tense political climate. Law enforcement continues to investigate the threat and maintain security vigilance around political institutions.
