“Dear PoPville,
Have you heard anything this morning about what’s going on with the Metro buses in Tenleytown? There are 20-30 vacant buses lined up along Wisconsin Ave with police and firetrucks blocking many streets, including a stretch along Wisconsin between Veazey and Yuma streets.”
AlertDC had reported at 7:52am: “MPD reports the following roads are closed due to police activity:
– 4200-4300 blocks of Wisconsin Avenue, NW, between Van Ness and Yuma Streets
– 4200 block of 40th Street, NW, between Wisconsin Avenue and Warren Street
Please use alternate routes and expect delays.”
Andrew Leyden reported around 9am:
“The MPD Bomb Squad has cleared a suspicious package at the firehouse of DCFD Engine 20. A thermos bottle with some wires was discovered this morning but ruled non-hazardous.”
An A+ update from Andrew:
“Some commentators on this post have noted the device in question is likely not a thermos bottle, but is instead a sex toy called a “Blowbot” or similar item.”
