The headquarters of the Republican National Committee was briefly placed on lockdown Wednesday morning and the hazardous materials team from the United States Capitol Police responded to the scene on Capitol Hill.
According to sources reported by NBC News, the emergency response stemmed from a package containing vials of blood that was sent to the RNC's offices just a few steps from House office buildings.
Capitol Police told NBC News that the package was contained and removed by its personnel while another source told the outlet that the blood was being tested, presumably to determine its source and whether any additional hazards were present in the package sent to the national headquarters of the Republican Party.
In a statement following the lockdown, U.S. Capitol Police said it was called to the RNC's offices "for the report of a suspicious package" which "contained two vials of blood" and was "cleared by our Hazardous Incident Response Division." Authorities added that the "source of the package" along with its contents are under further investigation.
According to NBC News, it remained unclear whether any suspects were in custody.
United States Representative Jim Banks (R-IN), the Republican nominee for United States Senate in the Hoosier State, framed the incident as an attempt to "intimidate Republicans because they know we are winning."
This is a developing story and may be updated.

No one will be arrested though. However do the same thing to the DNC and they’ll arrest everyone that even thought it was funny.

Rep. banks’ response was ok, but I would have preferred “Today there was another masturbatory and performative display by juvenile violent a-holes who are a key constituent of the Democrat party. While we adults must always be wary, because so many leftists are deranged and prone to violence, thankfully this characteristically mindless stunt ended without anyone being hurt.”

Probably pig blood or something sent to threaten about what will happen if Trump wins.
RATs are sick individuals full of rage and violence.

What a joke. The Republicants have no idea what winning is.

Maybe the package was sent to the wrong address?
Not everything is some huge conspiracy.

I don’t think anyone can change your mind.

DNA testing will hopefully find the source of the blood. Testing is helpful in closing criminal cold cases.

Maybe the perps sent vials of their own blood before they thought the plan all way through to its conclusion?
