“MPD reports 12th Street NW between E and F Streets NW is closed due to police activity. Please avoid the area.”

Readers report:

“firetrucks blocking off 12 & F NW. Hazmat suits and firemen going into a manhole??”

“This is my office building, we’ve been told it’s not a test and we aren’t allowed to leave/go into the stairwells. Hazmat everywhere.”

3. Cleared now, according to update

Update: 12:20 pm: ” MPD reports the police activity has cleared on 12th Street between E and F Streets NW. The associated road closures are now open.”

Poster on the thread says it was a bomb threat. Glad it was apparently not a real threat.

4. Oh no! Very terrifying.

I hope the threat is brought under control and nullified fast. May you, and all in the area be safe. Sending good vibes. Keep us at DU posted.
