Officers were called out to the area of 10th and P Street shortly after 12:30 Wednesday morning for a report of a loud noise.
That's when they discovered the tree had apparently come down on a large section of the roof of the Main Building at Washington Academic Middle School.
Security and school officials were out at the school overnight assessing the damage and taking necessary measures to ensure the safety of the building.
There's no word if this will affect school for students in any way today.
