DEVELOPING STORY--Man With Grenade Prompts Collester Lock-Down

President, VP were not in danger ESF says

MAVOCKE--Everything has returned to normal at Collester this afternoon, after a man wielding a grenade outside the premises was arrested this morning.

Capitol Police would not identify the suspect, but say the 47-year-old man was armed with a 1976 British grenade, and was yelling threatening messages while trying to get past a security barrier on Collester's east side around 10:30 am eastern time.

The man was quickly arrested by Capitol Police.

Collester was briefly locked down for about 30 minutes, but neither President Menuhaeo or Vice President Don James were in danger, the Execusitve Security Force (ESF) said.

An explosives team was brought in to handle the grenade. It's unclear if the weapon was still functionable.

Collester and the surrounding streets were re-opened this afternoon at 1:00 GEST.
