Local news in Washington is reporting the military helicopter was on a training flight from nearby Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Washington, DC, airspace is very busy and you see helicopters flying overhead all the time. Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling is just across the river from DCA.

I think you are overthinking this. I did library tech help as part of my job and now as a volunteer in retirement. You just go with it, smile, and on to assist the next patron.
