Capitol police are investigating a small fire this morning at U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy’s Washington office.
There were no reports of injuries, said Sgt. Kimberly Schneider of the Capitol Police department.
“I believe it was the only office affected but I don’t have any other details,” Schneider said.
Murphy, a Democrat from the state’s 5th District, is currently serving his second term.
POLITICO, which broke the story earlier today, reported that Murphy’s office in the Cannon Office Building was marked by yellow police tape and a police officer stood in the hall.
Murphy’s spokeswoman Kristen Bossi said the office is open and it’s business as usual.
