The Washington Post reported:
Police give ‘all clear’ after bomb threat near U.S. Capitol triggered evacuation of multiple buildings
Hours after a bomb threat at the Department of Health and Human Services headquarters on Wednesday triggered evacuations at government buildings near the U.S. Capitol, police issued an “all clear,” allowing people to return to the buildings.
The incident unfolded Wednesday morning after there was a “bomb threat received” at the Hubert H. Humphrey Building in the 200 block of Independence Avenue SW, HHS spokeswoman Sarah Lovenheim said in a statement. The building was evacuated “out of an abundance of caution,” but there was “no reported incident,” she said.
Just before noon, emails went out to Capitol Hill staffers informing them that the O’Neill House Office Building and U.S. Botanic Garden also had been evacuated. Some streets along Independence Avenue SW and C Street SW were closed.
U.S. Capitol Police gave the “all clear” for the O’Neill House Office Building about 1:30 p.m., and reentry to the building was authorized there at that time; reentry at the HHS building was authorized at 2:30 p.m. All roads that were closed in response to the incident have been reopened, Capitol Police said.
Before Nancy left D.C. that day, she sent us a couple of notes:
Yesterday, October 28, 2021, there was even more going on at the Capitol:
Busy day at the Capitol...
Nancy also wanted to show us a closer picture of the new fence being constructed at top of Capitol stairs...seems to be a strange place to build a fence.
This morning, October 29, 2021, Nancy sent two (2) more videos:
Here's the note she sent after she got home
