Police are at a Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign office in New Hampshire to address what CNN affiliates are reporting as a hostage situation.Hillary Clinton was not in the area. I'll update as/when I get more info.
The affiliates said the incident began about 1 p.m. at the headquarters in Rochester. WCVB-TV in Boston said it is unclear how many people were being held. WMUR in New Hampshire said the hostage-taker was an armed man.
The WMUR Web site said a witness, Lettie Tzizik, told the station she spoke to a woman shortly after she was released from the office by the hostage-taker.
"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,'" the Web site reported.
UPDATE: The hostages are now reportedly free.
UPDATE 2: The terrorist has been arrested. It looks like no one was hurt, either. Good stuff.
