ATF’s headquarters in Washington D.C. was evacuated Thursday afternoon after an employee said she felt sick after opening a package containing “a suspicious liquid substance.”
Hazmat crews tested the substance and did not detect anything harmful. The substance was sent to a lab for further analysis, ATF said on Twitter at 4:32 p.m.
“Hazmat is out, substance tested clear, will send to lab for further analysis,” tweeted.
D.C. Police, Fire and EMS also responded to the scene.
There were no updates on the employee early Friday morning.
“More information will be released at the appropriate time,” ATF tweeted.
