Texas Capitol evacuated over alleged shooting threat during night two of Rep. Nicole Collier's protest

The Texas Capitol was evacuated Tuesday night due to an alleged social media threat as protestors gathered in solidarity with Rep. Nicole Collier, a Democrat who remains on the House floor in protest rules imposed by the GOP House Speaker. A protest was planned to take place from 7-9:30 p.m, Austin TV station's KVUE reports. However, just after 7 p.m., the Department of Public Safety cleared the capitol grounds due to the alleged threat.
