According to the Department of Public Safety (DPS) Capitol Region, they identified a credible threat toward state lawmakers planning to attend a protest at the Texas State Capitol Complex Saturday afternoon. This follows the shooting of two lawmakers in Minnesota early Saturday morning.

The arrest was made after a traffic stop in La Grange. As demonstrations are under way in Austin, DPS says there is no additional active threat.

The Texas Department of Safety has arrested a man in connection with a “credible threat toward state legislators” attending Saturday's protest.
