Hostage Situation at Clinton Headquarters

Update: Sen. Barack Obama's campaign office in Rochester and John Edwards' offices have also been evacuated. Our sister site, Bostonist is live-blogging the situation right now. Apparently, a man wants to "speak to Hillary Clinton. He has two hostages (maybe more) and [allegedly has] a bomb strapped to his chest ... police have asked the media not to take live shots of the building." Yikes.

A little bit of breaking news well outside of the Bay Area jurisdiction: as of this morning, several people are still being held hostage at Hillary Clinton's campaign office in New Hampshire. According to CNN:

The affiliates said the incident began about 1 p.m. at the headquarters in Rochester. WMUR in New Hampshire said the hostage-taker was an armed man ... a witness, Lettie Tzizik, told the station she spoke to a woman shortly after she was released from the office by the hostage-taker, saying "[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."

Clinton was in the Washington area at the time of the incident.

More on this later. Now back to NorCal-y tidbits. (And perhaps this will stave off a day of Robert Morrow's ever-amusing "Hillary Is A Bull-Dyke" emails? We hope so.)

Also, although we doubt it will have the same OJ Simpson-Al Cowlings-White Bronco appeal, you can read more about it and watch it live here.

Isn't bombing covered under the 2nd amendment?
