Subway A Metro subway station just outside Washington [Southern Avenue, on the Green Line] was closed Tuesday after an armed man scuffled with a police officer and a jar with an unknown substance fell onto the platform, officials said. Fire department hazardous-material teams in protective rubber suits responded after several people reported being sick.

About 15 people were isolated. |  | Links, exploration and synthesis from Steve Bogart  photo by my wife If you want to be e-mailed when there's new stuff here, say "add me." Archives by week
