The tool was in the work truck that was stolen. They spotted the truck in a Walmart parking lot and were watching for the suspect but he shot at police and drove away. They have the highway closed until hazmat teams arrive
So that have nothing to do with device itself. It's not very different from stealing a car with a few regular old-style smoke detectors (they have radioactive americium inside) occasionally being in a trunk. Or with thoriated TIG welding electrodes in glovebox.
Nothing above need hazmat suited team.
Or, may be, at the same time, at the same place there was another, undisclosed accident, with something much more serious than road density meter, that really needed hazmat team to clean up.
I'm sure more information will be available tomorrow. Probably nothing if it was in a pickup truck, but any chance to make money cleaning up gets someone's attention

May be some local regulations demand hazmat team for any incident with anything radioactive.
