WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – The U.S. Capitol Police stated on Wednesday that there is no threat to Washington’s Capitol Complex. This was minutes after they issued a statement stating that they were following an aircraft which posed a threat to its seat.

The Capitol was evacuated this evening out of an excess of caution. The police released a statement saying that there is no danger at the Capitol.

They said that the police had been preparing buildings to allow re-entry.

The statement stated that the police will provide a final update later Wednesday.
