Travelers at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport experienced a moment of disruption last night when Concourse A was partially evacuated due to a police investigation. A stretch of time where the departures and arrivals were paused, the concourse stood empty, the result of a cautionary move initiated around 6:00 p.m., according to WMAR-2 News.
The airport's official social media update tagged the resumption of normal operations at approximately 6:30 p.m., an affirmation that fear, though brief, was quelled, the threat deemed nonexistent by officials who worked diligently to ensure that the sanctity of travel remained unviolated. As reported by WBALTV, people were seen leaving Concourse A as emergency crews arrived and moved around the area, briefly unsettling the normally calm environment.
At this time, it’s not clear what the police were investigating. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
