[Scan-DC] Potomac River Incident

[Jeff Krauss]

I was listening to MWAA online and heard the dispatch for a boat 
refusing to stop and Coast Guard firing shots.
Later it was announced as a drill.
Still later it was announced as not a drill.
MWAA sent officers to Gravelly Point and asked dispatcher to contact 
Park Police to see whether they should block access to Gravelly 
Point.  MWAA dispatcher said that Park Police was checking with their 
officials.
I had to leave and never heard the resolution.
