I was texted about it yesterday during my drive back from NCSLI Conference.  It seemed just a little more personal as I had just watched keynote speakers from NIST.

Holy Freakin Cow.  Sigh what is up with our world.  Glad we didn't have any standards there.

According to the article I read, it was in a separate building from where the high accuracy labs are.  It had been used for some experimental work, and recently all that work was removed at the end of the project.  Police are still investigating.  That is just per my recollection.
