A DCist reader has told us that a bomb threat has been reported near the Judiciary Square Metro station. The D.C. government office building located at 441 4th Street NW is closed to incoming and outgoing traffic, and WMATA is reporting that the 4th Street/Courthouse Metro entrance is likewise closed. We’ll report on details as they emerge; please leave your own updates in the comments.

Update: Here’s the current NBC 4 story. The problem appears to be a suspicious package.

Update: NBC 4 is now reporting that the package is safe and the Metro entrance has reopened.
