Suspicious Vehicle Closes Part of 14th Street Earlier this Morning in Columbia Heights

Thanks to all who sent in photos this morning. One reader shares this “Worrisome text” from 9:35am:

“Just got the attached very strange and worrisome text from a place where a friend lives”

Another reader writes at 9am: “Got a bomb threat closing 14th st NW north of Monroe to what looks like just past the fire station….”

“It’s this van parked in front of the fire station… I can’t make out the signs….”

Another reader sends a close up of the signs: “It was a suspicious vehicle! Massive confusion as I went to check on my friend who is confined to his apt, and MPD said they didn’t actually encourage an evacuation. So that was fun. ”

14th Street now open “cleared up a few hours ago…”
