(Reuters) -The Texas State Capitol and grounds in Austin were evacuated on Saturday ahead of a planned protest after a credible threat to lawmakers, the Texas Department of Public Safety said.

Local media said a protest against President Donald Trump dubbed the “No Kings” event was set to begin at the Texas Capitol at 5 p.m. Saturday. Police around the U.S. are on high alert after a gunman posing as a police officer killed a Democratic state lawmaker and her husband in Minnesota in an apparent politically motivated assassination, and wounded a second lawmaker and his spouse, state officials said.
