The email had been sent to lawmakers at 5:45 p.m. on Saturday and was titled “My manifesto.” In the email, the individual claimed that they had already placed the lethal explosive devices in the building and had done so “in the name of Palestine.” 

In a post on the social media platform X, State Rep. Ryan Bizzarro (D) thanked law enforcement officials for their efforts and professionalism. In another post, he argued that he is tired of such “unhinged behavior” and that he was hopeful that this “menace” would be found.
