We’ll update as necessary…
Just drove by, seems like quite a police presence. Would make sense for that response

UPDATE:
It looks like a false alarm:
FPS reports that the gunshots at EPA's Headquarters were unfounded, there were no injuries and the building is secure.

The Federal Protective Service and DC Police responded to reported gunshots at EPA HQ. No injuries, building is now secure.

After the Scalise shooting, I’m sure everyone’s on edge.
