Grenade In Rock Creek Park

[1]I have noticed that Rock Creek Park has recently finished some construction to repair some sections of parkway- now there’s a possibility there may also be a big crater in the middle of it.
I was watching the local news and there was a breaking news story on a suspicious package that could possibly be a grenade.
WJLA [2] says that 16th Street between between Longfellow Street NW and Colorado Avenue is closed and police are on the scene.
You may want to avoid that area today.
UPDATE:The Washington Post [3] reports that it the grenade, which was real, was taken care of by the military. Always helpful having those types of people around Washington DC for situations like this.
