(Springfield, IL) — No one is saying what the substance that shut down the Illinois Capitol is. Illinois Secretary of State Police placed the capitol on lockdown yesterday afternoon. Springfield firefighters say they found a substance in a second floor restroom. They later said the substance was not a credible threat. Statehouse workers were told to shelter in place. Lawmakers were not in session at the time.
