Following a credible threat that led to the evacuation of the Texas Capitol and the recent targeted attacks on Minnesota lawmakers, Texas House Representative Venton Jones and other Democrats are urging Governor Abbott to prioritize and enhance safety measures for state officials.

The man suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers, killing one of them, has been taken into custody, a law enforcement official said.

A credible threat led to an evacuation at the Texas Capitol, but operations resumed before a protest; one person was detained in La Grange.

Texas A&M sophomore pitcher Isaac Morton, a Minnesota native, will reportedly join the Minnesota Gophers for the 2026 season.
