A NERF gun ended up being the reason for over an hour-long lockdown of the outer perimeter of Washington DC’s Superior courthouse in downtown DC…
This afternoon, DC Police investigated two suspicious packages/items, both near courthouses:
-Suspicious package near the United States District Courthouse for the District of Columbia, on the 300 block of Constitution Ave NW at 2:27pm. The item was cleared with no hazardous material found.
-Suspicious truck cab in front of the Superior Court of DC building, 500 block of Indiana Ave NW. The cab was discovered to be holding a NERF GUN inside of it and has been cleared by DC Police. (pictured)
Both incidents ended up being false alarms, and DC Police are clearing both scenes now…
