The Secret Service is responding to reports of a suspicious package in the area of Pennsylvania Avenue and Lafayette Square nearby the White House.
Officials say pedestrian and vehicle traffic will be impacted in the area as the White House North Fence Line is closed. Also, H Street, NW, between 15th and 17th Streets and Pennsylvania Avenue between 15th and 17th Streets have also been shut down.
