The District of Columbia Police and the US Park Police investigated two sites where weapons were found. Traffic in the course of the investigation was stopped on the road near the canal near the boat station.
And it all started like this …
A woman walking along the canal on Wednesday morning noticed a violin case hidden in the stones. She took it out and opened it, and when she saw a weapon in it, she immediately informed the police about this find.
The discovery of a violin case containing several pieces of military firearms led police to uncover another cache of weapons and ammunition along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal near the boating station in Fletcher's Bay in northwest Washington.
About a quarter of a mile north of this place, the police found another cache with several pieces of ammunition and firearms, covered with rubbish and all sorts of rubbish.
Sgt. Anna Rose, a police spokesman, said pistols and sniper rifles were among the weapons found. The weapons were in sacks.
It looks like someone has their own plans for the inauguration, plans that include the unthinkable - followed by comments from Internet users.

These messages are now full of many online media. Whether this is true or not will be clear only after some time.
It can be recalled that in the summer of 2016, 19-year-old Briton Michael Sandford was detained at a rally in support of Trump. The young man tried to take away the weapon from the police officer who kept order at the event. After the arrest, the attacker said that he had come to Las Vegas from California to kill the controversial Republican billionaire.
Sandford arrived in Las Vegas on the eve of the Trump rally and went to the shooting range for a gun shooting practice. The fact is that he had never fired a firearm before. As reported in the case file, the arrested person said: "If I managed to avoid arrest, I would do it again."
The weakest point in Sandford's plan was that he had no weapon and the attacker tried to take it away from the police officer in the cordon, with whom he tried to strike up a conversation. According to security experts, this detail proves that the alleged perpetrator tried to act spontaneously and, in general, was initially doomed to failure.
The Briton faces up to 30 years in prison.
Do you think the attempted assassination attempt on Trump during the inauguration is reality?
