The Washington, D.C., headquarters of the Republican National Committee (RNC) were put on lockdown Wednesday morning after “vials of blood” were discovered in a package, the New York Post reports.
It remains unclear what caused the security alert, but one source told the Post that “It sounds like vials of blood were sent in a package and something broke open.”
No injuries were immediately reported as a result of the incident, but a hazmat unit was on site at the RNC headquarters on Capitol Hill Wednesday morning, according to the Post.
Capitol Police told NBC that the package contained two vials of blood. The source of the package and its contents is pending further investigation.
An “all clear” was reportedly given at around 9:40 a.m., at which point employees were allowed back into the RNC headquarters.
This story will be updated with any additional information.

Trump did it!! Had this happened at the DNC headquarters the dems would be blaming it on Trump and be calling for his execution without trial.
