"A bomb squad was called in Thursday after a suspicious package was found just steps from the White House, prompting a swift response from federal and local authorities.The U.S. Secret Service and D.C. police are currently investigating the item, which was located inside a dumpster near the intersection of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue—approximately 500 meters from the White House.
Streets around the Treasury Department were also cordoned off, with photos circulating online showing police vehicles blocking the surrounding block.
As of now, no injuries have been reported, and officials have not confirmed whether the package contains an explosive device. Authorities are asking the public to avoid the area while the investigation remains active."
