False alarm, but it makes me wonder if someone is testing the water there.

Article has been updated, this appears to have been a false alarm:

Nicholas Wu of Politico wrote that DC Metro Metropolitan Police spokesperson Hugh Carew said that the evacuation of the building took place after a call reporting an active shooter but that it “appears to be a bad call” and that “no injuries and no shooter were located”.
