Man Fires Flare Gun Near Supreme Court

WASHINGTON (AP) ― A man fired a flare gun into the air Thursday in front of the Supreme Court and authorities were examining a suspicious package he left behind, a court spokeswoman said.

The street and the plaza in front of the Supreme Court were closed off by authorities after the man was taken into custody.

No one was injured in the incident, said court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg.
