Man's Threats Cause Evacuation Near White House
The area around 15th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue is being evacuated because of a man who has made a threat.

Police said the man is in a red van. News4 reported the van was pulled over for a routine traffic stop. Police then decided the man was a security threat, according to News4.

Police and the FBI are talking to him.

Lafayette Park was evacuated. The Secret Service, D.C. police, the bomb squad and the U.S. Park Police are on the scene.

4. What. Is there some sort of testimony or something that needs whited-out
on the local news tonight or something? Couldn't very well issue a blatant terra-lert during CONdi's hearing, huh.

A guy in a red van during a traffic stop with a verbal(?) threat. What the fuck is this a game of Clue?
