Most of Connecticut’s congressmen and two from neighboring states said they were victims of bomb threats in their homes on Thursday as they prepared to celebrate Thanksgiving, although no bombs were ultimately found.

Democratic Reps. Jim Himes, Jahana Hayes, Joe Courtney, John Larson and Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut said in written statements that they had been targeted. The same goes for Reps. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts and Seth Magazine of Rhode Island.

The office of Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., confirmed to NBC News that he, too, was a target. The local CBS affiliate reported earlier Thursday that Murphy received the threat.

Authorities say they are tracking a wave of threats against lawmakers that began earlier this week.

“We are working so hard with the FBI,” President Joe Biden told reporters in Nantucket, Massachusetts, where he is celebrating Thanksgiving with his family.

A spokesman for Murphy said the threat to the senator’s home in Hartford “appears to be part of a coordinated effort involving multiple members of Congress and public figures.”

The U.S. Capitol Police, tasked with protecting lawmakers, is working on the case, a spokesman said, but would not provide further information about potential suspects or motives.

“Anytime a member of Congress is the victim of a swatting incident, we work closely with our local and federal law enforcement partners,” said Brianna Burch, an agency spokeswoman. “In order to protect ongoing investigations and minimize the risk of imitators, we cannot provide any further details at this time.”

Larson also alluded to the threats, saying in a statement that he was “grateful that my colleagues in Connecticut’s congressional delegation who have received similar threats are also safe.”

Hayes said on No bombs or “explosive material” were found, Hayes said.

“The investigation is currently ongoing,” she continued. “I thank law enforcement for their quick attention to this matter. Your actions show that there is no place for political violence in our country.”

Similarly, Himes said in a statement on

“There is no place for political violence in this country, and I hope we can all get through the holidays with peace and civility,” Himes said in a statement in which he also expressed gratitude for law enforcement.

Courtney’s spokesperson said in a statement that Courtney and his wife Audrey Courtney “express our greatest gratitude to law enforcement officers whose response should signal to perpetrators that these types of threats will not be tolerated.”

DeLauro said on X that she had received a similar threat to her colleagues and that New Haven police had determined there was no bomb.

“I am grateful for the efforts of local, state and federal law enforcement to protect me, my colleagues and our community today,” she said.

The FBI, which did not release information about the investigation, said it was “working with our state and local partners on these matters.”

Connecticut State Police referred a request for more information about the incidents to local law enforcement, who “were the primary investigators of any threat.”

The Vernon Police Department, which responded to the threat against Courtney, said in a statement that “the incident remains under investigation and no charges have been filed at this time.”

Wolcott Police Chief Edward Stephens, whose department responded to the threat against Hayes, told NBC News that no suspect has been identified but that the department is working to trace the email used to send the threat. Stephens said his department is coordinating with state police and other agencies.

Other local police departments that responded to the incidents did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The Capitol Police said in January that it had investigated more than 8,000 incidents involving threats against members of Congress last year, including “related to statements and direct threats.”

The number is up from last year, when the agency investigated more than 7,500 threats. The final statistics for 2024 are not yet available.

Several of President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed administration officials received bomb and “swatting” threats on Tuesday and Wednesday.
