Hostage Crisis

November 30, 07 01:52 PM By James Pindell, Correspondent

A man walked into Hillary Clinton's campaign office in Rochester, N.H., this afternoon with what looked like a bomb strapped to his body and is holding two volunteers hostage, according to police and a campaign official.

The man walked into the office on North Main Street at about 12:55 p.m., said Captain Anthony Colarusso of the Dover Police Department, which is part of a regional tactical response team. Police have been in contact with the man inside the office, Colarusso said.

Bill Shaheen, a top state campaign official, said that the man was holding two volunteers hostage, according to the Associated Press.

Rochester police Captain Paul Callahan said in a live interview on New England Cable News that police received a call just after 1 p.m.

"Right now we are handling this as a hostage situation," Callahan said.

Callahan would not say whether the person had a weapon or how many people were being held hostage. Clinton is not in New Hampshire today. She is scheduled to speak at the Democratic Party's annual fall meeting in Vienna, Va.

Rochester is about 20 miles north of Portsmouth near the Maine border.

According to television reports, police are lining both sides of North Main Street. Several officers are crouched behind police cruisers with guns drawn. Nearby businesses have been evacuated.

Apparently some guy has issues with a woman president

There's a nice big Hillary sign in the window of that place.

Fox News must be enjoying this.

If he wanted to blow it up, it would have already been done. They apparantly "know" he has road flairs strapped to his chest, yet they drag it on... in a "real" situation like this they would have already gone in there and pulled his dumass out.

Reaks of publicity stunt... and they are eating it up....

 

And how did fox news get a former FBI hostage negotiator that fast????

 

FOX News has guys like that already on their payroll (just in case) and can be reached anywhere for comment at a moments notice

Come on now, Hotwater.. you KNOW it actually has to be a big conspiracy....

 

Interesting...

Are these people working solely for fox? If not, how can fox ensure they will be so readily available? Are they rich/don't have to work?

 

They don’t freelance, they’re actually on the payroll

Conspiracy theorists, unite

You can't assume it isn't until you know its not. Its probable the guy just flipped out, but the story has yet to be told!

Whether or not it was in any way planned, its being milked for everything it can be.

My local news, though, has not reported on it... although they are letting me know having a cat will give me allergies.
