UPDATE: The station has reopened and the situation is clear. This should make for a fun rush hour this evening: Metro reports that it has closed the Federal Center SW Metrorail station due to a suspicious package in the area. The package was reported around 4 p.m. this afternoon. Trains are still passing through the station, but are not stopping. Police have also closed surrounding streets to traffic and pedestrians, including 3rd Street between C and E Streets and D Street between 2nd and 3rd Streets. The package has been described by police as a “briefcase with wires coming out of it.”
