Police Activity at 400 block of Massachusetts Ave NW

“Dear PoP,

All of the 400 block of Massachusetts Ave NW was shut down until a few minutes ago. There are a dozen cop cars and police tape keeping bystanders back. Any idea what’s going on? Oh, and one of the very few times I’ve seen an MPD officer w/ an MP5 machine gun.”
