Multiple individuals fell ill and were transported to the hospital following the delivery of a suspicious package containing white powder at a U.S. military base in Maryland.
A building inside Joint Base Andrews, located just outside Washington, D.C., was evacuated after a staff member opened the package around 1 p.m. on Thursday, sources told CNN. The building houses the Air National Guard Readiness Center.
“As a precaution, the building and connecting building were evacuated, and a cordon was established around the area,” officials from the base said in a statement.
First responders were dispatched to the scene, and several people were transported to the Malcolm Grow Medical Center on the base. The conditions of the affected individuals remain unknown at this time.
“Joint Base Andrews first responders were dispatched to the scene, determined there were no immediate threats, and have turned the scene over to the Office of Special Investigations,” the base’s statement read. “An investigation is currently ongoing.”
A source familiar with the situation stated that an initial HAZMAT test did not detect any hazardous materials; however, efforts to identify the white substance remain ongoing. The HAZMAT team departed the scene Thursday evening.
The building where the package was discovered remains closed off as investigators continue their work.
Authorities are also examining political propaganda that was included in the package, according to two sources speaking to CNN. The outlet further reported that at least seven people were receiving treatment at the hospital.
The Air National Guard Readiness Center serves as a liaison between the National Guard Bureau and Air National Guard units across every state and territory.
Joint Base Andrews is a military installation frequently used by high-profile individuals, including the president, vice president, and cabinet secretaries, for official travel. Notably, President Donald Trump was at the base on Wednesday.
