Police closed off the entirety of Thomas Circle this morning, with no vehicle nor foot traffic allowed through the circle, due to a suspicious package investigation. The Massachusetts Ave. tunnel was also closed.

MPD public information officer Kenny Bryson said the package was discovered at about 10:30 a.m. at the intersection of 13th and Mass. Ave. NW, but police decided to go ahead and close the entire circle as a precaution.

This is the second time in two days that police have closed Thomas Circle for a suspicious package investigation.

11:33 a.m. Police are reopening the circle now, and the package has been cleared.
