Aerial footage showed multiple ladder trucks extended over the rear of the Massachusetts State House, and a large crowd of people could be seen standing outside the building.
At about 2:20 p.m., Department of Conservation and Recreation rangers instructed people who had left the capitol to go to Boston Common and get away from the State House. Rangers also ordered an archway that runs between the original building and its annex to be completely cleared.
Gov. Maura Healey was seen walking out of building at 2:23 p.m. carrying a backpack and appeared headed for her car, which was running under the arch near the corner of Mount Vernon and Hancock streets. Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll was outside as well and said she was"safe." Crowds huddled on the sidewalks until they were allowed back inside after around 15 minutes. Officials hadn't yet ascertained why the individuals activated the alarm, and state police are investigating. Half of the House of Representatives' membership was in the middle of a closed-door briefing on a gun law reforms bill and a number of lawmakers appeared to stay inside the House complex during most of the alarm.
