Suspected explosive device prompts Wyoming Capitol evacuation

The Wyoming Capitol building, including the governor’s office, was evacuated Tuesday after a suspected explosive device was found. Gov. Mark Gordon was among those evacuated, as well as other members of the Wyoming Stable Token Commission who were meeting at the time in a basement-level room near the Capitol. Authorities did not elaborate on what was found except that it appeared homemade and not a factory produced object such as a military round, Wyoming Highway Patrol spokesperson Aaron Brown said.
