You hear something like three large firecrackers, or small explosions, or shots, or an engine backfiring from the direction of Farragut Park. There are screams and shouts. The lobby of 1700 K and other buildings around Farragut are suddenly flooded with pedestrians who had been filling the park. After a brief pause, three more sharp, explosive sounds are heard.
(This information is being provided to those participants who I understand are/or were in 1025 Connecticut, 1700 K, and 816 Connecticut or to Ambassadors who might be near the intersection of CT and K. If you have relocated from these buildings and are no longer in hearing range of Farragut, please disregard this information and do not pass it on to others.)

1435 Mr. Hood:
If you are still located at 1700 K and have visibility to the intersection of Connecticut and K you can see three bodies on the ground in front of the Metro Station at that intersection. At least one is in uniform. You can also see police officers who have taken cover with weapons drawn looking in your direction and elsewhere around the park. The crowd that had gathered in Farragut Park is scattering in panic.
If you are no longer at 1700 K and/or would be unable to observe this scene, please disregard this message.

(1420 TO GOLDEN TRIANGLE AMBASSADORS)
You are asked by Metropolitan Police Department personnel at the corner of Connecticut and K (outside Farragut North Metro) to help keep pedestrians across K street (on the Farragut Park side) in order to establish an Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) Command Post on the northside of K street.
Passengers are continuing to enter and exit the Farragut North station at K street. You have heard that the other two entrances have been blocked off. This has substantially increased pedestrian traffic on the corner adjacent to where they are trying to establish the EOD Command Post.
Pedestrians are also beginning to fill the north end of Farragut Park and adjacent sidewalks, attracted by the police activity.

Lt. Scott Dignan arrives at Washington Square to assume Incident Command. He eyeballs the package.
Following is the quick conversation between Jim and Scott:
SCOTT: Jim, this could be the real deal. I think you should evacuate.
JIM: When will we know for sure?
SCOTT: Could be another hour, more. EOD Tech won't get here for another 10 or 15. I can't order you to go, but I think it would be prudent.
JIM: What about...
SCOTT: I don't know anything more than you and I need to get the IC up.
