Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C., issued a safety advisory Thursday after the discovery of a "suspicious package."
Officials say the package was discovered outside Building 412, which prompted an evacuation. Authorities then set up a 1,000-foot perimeter and asked for personnel to avoid the area.

An ordinance team has deployed to the scene.
