Thursday, a pursuit and ongoing police crisis in Clinton County led to the closure of two highways and the lockdown of the surrounding area. After a potential threat was made against an FBI headquarters in Cincinnati, it all began.

FBI Cincinnati reports that the incident began at 9 a.m., when an individual attempted to breach the visitor screening facility at the Kenwood office.

Officials from the federal government have stated that the suspect made threats while present at the federal facility and looked to be armed with a firearm.

After that, it’s said that the suspect ran away, which prompted Ohio State Police to totally close down Interstate 71 and State Highway 73 near Clinton County.

However, it is unknown who, if anyone, was hurt in the incident.
