PG Police Unaware of Local Threat After Brussels Terrorist Bombings

Updated at 2:20 p.m.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Public transportation hubs in the D.C. region -- including Prince George's County -- have increased security after terrorist attacks early Tuesday morning in Brussels have killed 34 and wounded more than 100.

In response to the deadly bombings in Belgium, the Prince George’s County Police Department, in partnership with Metro Transit Police, has increased its presence at Metro stations and all transit hubs in the county.

Authorities said they are unaware of any specific threats to Prince George's County.

The department said in a statement:

"It is important for our citizens to know that we are always vigilant in our efforts to keep this county safe, both with covert and overt assets. And as always, citizens who see or hear anything suspicious are urged to contact us or any law enforcement officials. If you see something, say something. Our non-emergency number is 301-352-1200. If it’s an emergency, call 911."

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan called the bombings "horrific."

The D.C. Metro does not have specific threats, but K9 sweeps and patrols have been increased as a precaution.

Riders have been encouraged, "If you see something, say something," by calling 202-962-2121 or texting MyMTPD. The same message was relayed by U.S. Park Police.

Meanwhile at area airports, flights to Brussels are canceled and passengers are encouraged to pass information to police if they see anything suspicious-looking.

Baltimore Washington International Airport retweeted a safety reminder that urged travelers: “If You See Something, Say Something. Report suspicious activity to local authorities. #SeeSay”

Airport officials have not commented on Patch’s questions about whether procedures have changed at their airport Tuesday in light of the terrorist attacks.

"The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority’s number-one priority is always the safety and security of our passengers and all airport employees," airports spokeswoman Kimberly Gibbs said Tuesday morning in an email to Patch. "Reagan National and Dulles International airports have a robust security structure, both publicly visible and behind the scenes."

Gibbs also encourages passengers to say something to Airport Police or an airport employee if anything looks suspicious. "We all have a responsibility in helping to keep our airports safe," she said.

In the Brussels attacks, two blasts hit the international airport and another struck a metro station, according to NPR.

Belgian officials have reported at least 14 people died in the airport attack, with 20 people dead at the metro station.
