A man identified as Leland Eisenberg, an obviously mentally unstable man, walked into the Hillary Clinton capmaign headquarters building in Rochester, New Hampshire shortly after 12:30 p.m. brandishing what appeared to be a bomb strapped to his chest and torso. The man was demanding to speak to Senator Clinton. All the hostages have been released and hostage negotiators are trying to create a rapport with the suspect to coax him out of the building.

The streets around Senator Clinton’s headquarters were sealed off by police and the area was evacuated of all civilians, including St. Elizabeth Seton School, which includes children in grades 1 through 8. The New Hampshire State Police bomb squad unit has also called in to help deal with the potentially lethal situation.

Senator Clinton or her husband, former President Clinton were not in the building at the time. Senator Clinton was scheduled to speak at the Democratic National Committee meeting in Vienna, Va., this afternoon, but she canceled that appearance after receiving the reports that at least two volunteers were being held captive.
