All three state senators were reportedly Democrats. No one was hurt, according to The Oregonian.
KATU reached out to the lawmakers and heard back from two of them.
Senate President Rob Wagner released a statement.
“Let me express my deepest gratitude to the Lake Oswego police for its swift response. Acts and threats of political violence have no place in our democracy. In this dark moment, we must seek the common humanity in one another and work toward healing our nation,” he said in part.
Senate Majority Leader Kayse Jama echoed a similar statement.
“I thank law enforcement for their swift and professional work responding to the threat I received today. We can oppose each other’s ideas without resorting to violence and intimidation,” he said.
