Parts of L’Enfant Plaza were temporarily closed off while first responders assessed the situation and ensured the area was safe. Witnesses described seeing officers securing entrances and directing commuters away from the affected section of the plaza.
An MPD spokesperson later confirmed that “the situation is under control” and that there is no ongoing threat to public safety. Police have not yet determined the exact circumstances of the incident or whether foul play was involved.
Commuters and office workers in the area were advised to expect minor delays and a heightened police presence as the investigation continues.
Authorities said additional updates will be released once more information becomes available.
