The homes of multiple Democratic members of Congress were targeted by bomb threats on Thanksgiving.
Sen. Chris Murphy, Rep. Joe Courtney, Rep. Jahana Hayes, Rep. Jim Himes, Rep. John Larson, and Rep. Rosa DeLauro all said their homes were targeted on Thursday.
"Joe and Audrey extend their utmost gratitude to the law enforcement officers, whose response should signal to perpetrators that these types of threats will not be tolerated," Rep. Courtney's spokesperson said in a statement.
"I thank law enforcement for their swift attention to this matter, their actions demonstrate there is no place in our country for political violence," Hayes said in a statement.
Rep. Himes said he was notified of a bomb threat targeting his home where he was celebrating Thanksgiving with his family.

"Mary, Emma, Linley, and I extend our utmost gratitude to our local law enforcement officers for their immediate action to ensure our safety. There is no place for political violence in this country, and I hope that we may all continue through the holiday season with peace and civility," Hime said in part in a statement.
Rep. Larson said East Hartford police responded to his home for a bomb threat, too.

"I would like to thank the East Hartford Police Department for their swift and professional response in ensuring the safety of my family. I am grateful that my colleagues in the Connecticut Congressional Delegation, who received similar threats, are also safe," Rep. Larson said in a statement.
Rep. DeLauro said she received a bomb threat Thursday afternoon that was similar to the others received by the Connecticut congressional delegation.
“I am grateful for local, state, and federal law enforcements efforts to keep me, my colleagues, and our community safe today,” DeLauro said in a statement.
The office of Sen. Murphy confirmed Murphy's home in Hartford was targeted, saying it appeared to be a "coordinated effort targeting multiple members of Congress and public figures."
No bombs or explosive materials were found at any of the homes.
Authorities have not said if the threats are connected.
