Hostage Situtation


Police in Rochester, New Hampshire responded to a hostage situation at a local Hillary Clinton campaign office on North Main Street. It is not clear if the Senator herself was one of the hostages released around 3pm or not. Reporters told foxnews.com that the man responsible was in his mid-forties with salt and pepper colored hair, and had asked to speak with the Senator from New York earlier in the day. The man returned claiming to have a bomb and the situation escalated from there. At this moment all hostages have been released according to further reports but the hostage taker remains within the New Hampshire office alone. The situation has lasted for over two hours. A campaign release issued about 2:45pm stated that "There is an ongoing situation in our Rochester, N.H., office. We are in close contact with state and local authorities and are acting at their direction. We will release additional details as appropriate."
