The Washington headquarters of the Republican National Committee was placed on lockdown Wednesday morning after “vials of blood” were reportedly found.

NBC News correspondent Dasha Burns took to her account on the social media platform X, writing that the GOP headquarters was under “lockdown” just after 8 a.m. ET.

“DEVELOPING: RNC HQ in DC is under lockdown until further notice,” Burns reported. “Hazmat team is on site sources tell me.”

Minutes later, Burns posted, “NEW: Three sources tell @NBCNews vials of blood were sent to the RNC…”

Fox News quickly confirmed the RNC headquarters had indeed been ordered closed.

Are you worried there will be unrest around the 2024 election?

There were initial reports that a white powdery substance had been found at the property, but Fox was not able to confirm the claims.

The network shared footage of the RNC headquarters cordoned off with police tape and confirmed the building was closed.

“Something’s happening inside,” host Bill Hemmer said.

A number of police cars were parked outside while officers stood watch.

Other videos and images from the scene soon went viral and showed a heavy police presence while some onlookers had also gathered.

Police are reportedly urging the public to avoid the area, which is located just a block from the U.S. Capitol.

The RNC had not issued a public statement about the situation as of 10 a.m. ET, and no further details were publicly available.

 

An Important Message from Our Staff:

 

We who work here at The Western Journal have fought for years against Big Tech and the elites who want to shut us down and then shut America down. 

 

Make no mistake — nothing will be the same after November 2024. Will you help us fight? Will you help us expose the America-hating elites who will do everything they can to steal this election? 

 

We’re a small group of people fighting to save the country for our readers and for our own family and friends. Can we count on your help?

 

At this point, Big Tech has cut off our access to 90% of advertisers. Imagine if someone took 90% of your paycheck and there was nothing you could do. They’re trying to starve us out.

 

Donations from readers like you have literally helped keep our lights on, and we need you now more than ever. 

 

We operate on a shoestring budget, but with that budget, we terrify the globalists. Please help us continue the fight. Stand with us, and we will never surrender.

 

Thank you for reading The Western Journal and for believing in America. 

 

It is a pleasure to serve you.

 

P.S. Please don’t let the America-hating left win. Stand with us today!
