Heightened police presence. Many having machine guns/ automatic rifles. Sliver Spring, MD
Hope I put this thread in the right place. Anyways, about twenty minutes ago I was on the second floor balcony of my building in Silver Spring, MD and
notice this huge group of police cars, black unmarked SUV's, and unmarked vehicles. I was trying to figure out what was going on, when one of my
colleagues approached me and said, "Crazy s**t, right?!". So naturally I asked if he knew what was up. He told me that he didn't know for sure, but
that he had just come from the metro station across the street, which is the Silver Spring metro (obviously), and that there had to be about two
hundred police and what looked like S.W.A.T teams surrounding the stop, and that they were in fact armed and carrying around machine guns or automatic
rifles. He then pointed out to me that the entire side of my building had police vehicles lining the sidewalk as well. I was able to take a quick
picture with my phone of a group of the vehicles, as well as the metro in the background. Unfortunately from my view I couldn't see all the hubbub in
the station myself, and being that I'm on the clock I can't just leave to check it out.
I don't know if this is just a "drill" or what, but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up! If anyone finds out anything about this, please add
your info. I'll post anything I find out about it as well. I just hope nothing crazy is going down.
