So this is where we’re at now.

This could very well turn out to be nothing. Show host Larry O’Connor tweeted about the incident:

I saw the package mailed to @WMALDC.

Though it does not look like the other packages we have seen the past day or two, there were some similarities. DC police examined it and immediately ordered full evacuation.

I'm not going to describe the package in question because there is an ongoing investigation. We were informed moments after police studied it to immediately evacuate.

Could be a bad copy cat or could be something more.

We will return to the air as soon as we can. @WMALDC
