All buildings within the Capitol Complex: External security threat, no entry or exit is permitted, stay away from exterior windows, doors. If outside, seek cover. USCP
Update: It seems it is due to a fire under a nearby overpass, but it does seem to show they are not taking any chances. The pictures coming out today of the fortifications are sad, it looks like a 3rd world country.
