(God, the Bay Area is just awesome sometimes.) He then jumped out the window. Yikes.</p>

<p>Oh, and re-plan your route home, people. <a href="http://transit.511.org/accessible/announcements/detail.aspx?ann=30012">According to 511</a>:</p>

<blockquote>On Monday, July 21st as of 2:00pm, BART's Richmond Station remains closed due to police activity At Capitol Corridor Richmond Train Station. Northbound BART Richmond trains are turning back at El Cerrito Del Norte. Passengers may continue on to Richmond by using AC Transit who will honor BART tickets on Buses 71 and 76. Service on Capitol Corridor has been halted due to police activity and no trains are getting through to Richmond.</blockquote>

<p>Anyway, the man has yet to be captured, and the Walnut Creek bomb squad is currently analyzing the package. (Also, Walnut Creek has it's own bomb squad? Huh.)
