Hostages Held at Clinton Campaign in New Hampshire.

An armed man took people hostage Friday at a Hillary Clinton presidential campaign office in New Hampshire, police said.

The incident happened at about 1 p.m. Friday at 28 North Main St. in Rochester. Officials said that a man is holding people hostage at the office, but it is unclear how many people are being held.

Senator Clinton is in Washington, DC and supposedly negotiating. The person who took the hostages is supposedly also demanding to speak to the Senator.

[UPDATE 2] NH TV station WMUR has just reported that two hostages have been released. If in fact there were only two hostages remaining in the office, that would mean all the hostages are now safe, and only the man remains in the office.

Update 3 - Hostages still may be held. Here is the live link http://www.wmur.com/video/14738085/index.html

Sorry, Kid Radical - I was mistaken when I told you Hillary was in NH today. She is, in fact, in D.C. However, her website states that she is due in NH tomorrow morning to give a speech, so I at least got that right. Also, I just read on MSNBC.com that the guy with the alleged bomb taped to his chest told the Clinton campaign volunteers that he wanted to speak with Hillary, so he was probably as mistaken as I as to her whereabouts.

In any case, whether we are in support of Hillary's campaign or not, I think we can all agree that we don't want to see anyone hurt.
