Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb is shutting down state government buildings in Indianapolis for most of next week. He says it’s out of “an abundance of caution” surrounding threats to other state capitols related to President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration and the recent insurrection at the U-S Capitol.
The governor’s office says there are still no credible threats against the Indiana Statehouse.
The state government complex – already closed Monday for the Martin Luther King, Junior holiday – will remain closed Tuesday and Wednesday. In a statement, Holcomb says he wants to “err on the side of caution.”
General Assembly leaders are canceling all legislative activity for the entirety of next week, at the urging, they say, of State Police Superintendent Doug Carter.
