The U.S. Capitol was evacuated Wednesday evening after Capitol Police said an aircraft in the area posed a “probable threat.” An “all clear” message was called soon after and the Capitol Police said there was no threat.
“The USCP is tracking an aircraft that poses a probable threat to the Capitol Complex,” the initial announcement said. “Evacuate the U.S. Capitol, Capitol Visitor Center, Hart, Dirksen, Russell, Cannon, Longworth, Rayburn, Library of Congress (Jefferson, Madison and Adams) and U.S. Botanic Garden (Administrative and Conservatory) buildings.”
At 6:48 p.m EST, the U.S. Capitol Police confirmed the evacuation and tweeted, “The Capitol was evacuated out of an abundance of caution this evening. There is no threat at the Capitol. More details to come.”
