SPRINGFIELD, IL – The Illinois State Capitol is on lockdown after white powder was found in front of Governor Bruce Rauner’s office.

The air conditioning to the building has been shut off.

Emergency crews are on the scene including hazmat, fire and police. A large area is taped off and reporters outside the building are being told to stay back, Fox 2 reports.
