Hmmm. Associated Press reporter Josh Lederman tweets late tonight that the Secret Service is apparently preventing him from getting into his apartment. Even more intriguingly, he notes that there are agents all around his building.
Fellow D.C. journos and other Twitter users weighed in.
@joshledermanAP Neighborhood?

This could get interesting… @AP’s White House Corro @joshledermanAP is claiming that the Secret Service are blocking him from his apartment

Have they broken out the Barrycades?
Live at a National Park? MT @joshledermanAP: Currently prevented from entering my own apartment building by Secret Service. Agents all over

Twitchy will continue to monitor and update the story.
Update: And…it’s over.
Back in my apartment. Whoever was in the building has left via motorcade.

The guessing game continues.
@joshledermanAP You're very fancy.

@joshledermanAP Only 4 people have motorcades of a significant size. POTUS, VPOTUS, FLOTUS, SecState. And you'd have known if it was POTUS

@joshledermanAP unless it's a big shot their motorcades aren't too large, but that's a possibility. SecDef is also possible.

@joshledermanAP Also possible: Season 2 of @HouseOfCards is filming in DC & using a motorcade. http://t.co/ZSScNa9ugw
