Friday the 13th 

U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement last night that they are planning on “enhancing” security around the complex Friday. Although there are no specific threats directed at the Capitol, they cited an abundance of caution around reported calls from Hamas for a “day of rage.” Similar preparations are being encouraged by Homeland Security, multiple state police agencies and others in law enforcement across the country. The Department of Homeland Security has provided indicators of terrorism related suspicious activity for awareness and to aid in reporting. 

In an emergency, call 9-1-1. Report to local law enforcement or PA State Police at tips@pa.gov.  Be alert and report suspicious activity if you see it. Be alert and report suspicious activity if you see it.
