Bowman's office said he did not 'realize he would trigger a building alarm as he was rushing to make an urgent vote.'
"Congressman Bowman did not realize he would trigger a building alarm as he was rushing to make an urgent vote," a spokesman for Bowman said."The Congressman regrets any confusion."U.S. Capitol Police confirmed in a statement that a fire alarm caused an evacuation of the Cannon office building at 12:05 p.m. Eastern time. The building was evacuated while Capitol police officers checked it, and the building was reopened after it was determined that there was no threat.
The GOP-led House Administration Committee said Saturday that an investigation was already underway into Bowman pulling the fire alarm. © 2023 CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved.Please enter email address to continue
