UPDATE: Hostage situation in Rochester, NH - Hillary Clintons campaign office

Two being held hostage in Clinton HQ



ROCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Police say two campaign workers are being
held hostage in Hillary Clinton's campaign office in Rochester (New
Hampshire).
State Police Major Michael Hambrook says the man is armed and is
reported to have some sort of explosive.
Clinton is not in the state today. She canceled a speech in
Virginia after learning of the incident.
Police have cordoned off the downtown area and evacuated
businesses and other campaign offices in the area.
A young woman carrying an infant ran into a nearby store in
tears, saying she had been in the campaign office when a man walked
in, opened his coat and showed them a what looked like a bomb
strapped to his chest with duct tape. She said the man let her and
her child go.
Police have set up a command post, called for the bomb squad and
are trying to communicate with the man.
