One person is in custody Wednesday after an hourslong standoff with police at the CIA headquarters in McLean, Virginia.

The individual was taken into custody around 3 p.m., concluding the standoff after about five hours, WTOP’s John Domen reported from the scene. It caused street closures and traffic delays as police worked to bring an end to the situation.

Fairfax County police said they assisted with the barricade incident at the CIA and that the suspect involved surrendered to their negotiators.

A CIA spokesperson confirmed to WTOP that a security incident was taking place, but would not comment further.
