A 35-year-old Albany, N.Y., woman is in federal custody for allegedly planting a bomb in the State Capitol building with lawmakers inside.
Details are still thin, but I'll give you what we know and some choice reactions.
A Fox News breaker reports that the FBI told the network that a suspect named Jessica Bowie plotted to kill New York lawmakers after she "pledged allegiance to ISIS," more accurately known as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Bowie allegedly planned to hide a bomb inside a DoorDash bag, "hoping to strike while state senators were meeting."
Wednesday, Bowie allegedly bought from two FBI informants what she thought was an explosive device, but was actually inert, according to the bureau. She was also given a non-functioning handgun.
This is very early, so keep a decent sized block of salt next to you.
