The DC Police Department investigated a bomb threat call in the 1000 block of 14th Street, Northwest, Washington DC on Friday.

Police had blocked off K Street as a result, sparking speculations about the Washington Post building in the area.

Authorities provided an update on the matter, stating that no incident occurred at the Washington Post building and that MPD continues to investigate a bomb threat inside a building in the 1000 block of 14th Street, NW.

MPD has since cleared the original bomb threat call, with no hazardous material located, and roads will reopen shortly.

The bomb threat comes amid heightened tensions with Iran, which has law enforcement officials on alert about domestic attacks.

Yesterday, there was a shooting at Old Dominion University in Virginia, and Mohamed Jalloh, the suspect, had ISIS links.
