CNN just had it on, they don't have much information.
Strange alarms rang in the capitol building, 200 were evacuated to safe areas, and many people may be exposed to a bio agent. Hazmat teams are on the scene.
Watch your news stations for a news conference coming up soon.

Senators are being quaranteened. Tests are being done to confirm if it is a biological nerve agent. This is in the Russell Senate Building.
1st test was positive. 2nd test was negative. 3rd test being done.

200 senators and staffers have been sent into a parking garage. Tests being done under way. Alarm that sounded was one that detects bio agents... Hazardous Materials Alarm. Apparantly went off in the attic.

High probability this is a false alarm. The police don't even seem to be taking it that seriously.
BTW: Chemical agent, not biological according to CNN.

I hope it is a false alarm, 200 people is a lot.

No symptoms though. If this were real, someone would be having them by now.
CNN is going a little overboard IMO. MSNBC and FNC have the regular shows on and have only briefly mentioned it.

Doesn't look like much anymore. False alarm by the looks of it.

I wish they'd wait for confirmation before blasting out scaremongering stories.
