The Secret Service was investigating a suspicious package found on the White House grounds Thursday and part of Pennsylvania Avenue was closed.
The package was found near the Pennsylvania Avenue fence around 7:30 a.m., a Secret Service spokesman said.
Two blocks of Pennsylvania Avenue that are normally open only to pedestrians were closed off with yellow police tape, as was Lafayette Park, and more than a dozen fire and police vehicles were on hand. News camera crews normally stationed on the north side of the White House were moved away while officials investigated whether the package posed any threat.
