Utah state Capitol evacuated after rifle found in box
Source: Washington Post
Utah police were searching Thursday night for a man who strode into the state Capitol and placed a wreath and a cardboard box containing an unloaded rifle on the floor before leaving the building.
The Salt Lake City building was evacuated shortly after Capitol security officers watching surveillance cameras spotted the man leaving the package Thursday afternoon, state Highway Patrol Trooper Lawrence Hopper said.
The man appeared to be in his mid-20s and was wearing a dark suit and tie. After entering the building, he walked to the center of the main floor underneath the building rotunda and placed the package on the floor with the wreath on top, Hopper said.
He knelt next to the package for a moment and then got up and left the building. He drove off in a white SUV he had parked outside.
