A lockdown at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, has ended after a reported hazardous materials incident was found to be a false alarm. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said normal operations have resumed after testing confirmed no hazard existed.
Earlier, Parnell confirmed that systems within the Pentagon detected an air quality issue necessitating precautionary measures until the significance of the issue could be determined. As a result, the department executed standard protection protocols, and some areas of the Pentagon were evacuated due to the incident.
