Hostages Held at Hillary Clinton Office in N.H.


A man who says he has a bomb is holding campaign volunteers hostage in Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign office in Rochester, New Hampshire.

MSNBC is reporting that the man is demanding to speak directly to Hillary Clinton. He has released one or maybe two of the hostages.

The hostage-taker, described as a man in his 40s with salt-and-pepper hair, ordered the workers to the ground and let the woman and child out of the building. A young woman with a 6-month or 8-month-old infant came rushing into the store just in tears, and she said, 'You need to call 911. A man has just walked into the Clinton office, opened his coat and showed us a bomb strapped to his chest with duct tape," witness Lettie Tzizik said.

More at The Caucus and Hillary is 44.

Update: Right-wingers are already calling the hostage situation a Hillary plant. If they weren't so freakin' scary, they'd be funny.
