SKY NEWS IS SHOWING SOME LOCAL (WMUR TAPE I guess) VID.Cody Benett tells that Troy Stanley is the hostage taker.Troy Stanley thinks hes in the army.He thinks of a government conspiracy (probably zionist I guess).He has a history of mental illness






The suspect was an older man known around the town to be mentally unstable, the law enforcement official told the AP. He walked into the campaign office and opened his jacket, revealing what appeared to be a pipe bomb.

I guess its not Eisenberg

Eisenberg:

4:51 pm NBC tentatively identifies the suspect as "Leland Eisenberg." Son-in-law claims he was "drinking and that he was someone who wanted to be hospitalized."
4:48 pm "That was the most pointless press conference of all time" was the message I got from a reader. And, he's right.
4:35 pm Just heard from a very reliable source that all of Clinton's offices in Iowa have been shut down.
3:44 pm MSNBC: From AP, There were four hostages, but three have been released. One hostage is still being held. Also, the suspect is "known to local authorities from a past incident and that he may have a history of emotional problems."
3:19 pm ABC NEWS: Suspect is an older male with a history of mental illness who told his son today "watch the news."

Witnesses described the white male as in his 40s with salt-and-pepper hair.
WMUR-TV quoted a woman, Lettie Tzizik, saying she spoke to someone who said she had just been released by the man.
"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.'"
Police surrounded the building, evacuated the immediate area and placed other buildings, including a nearby school, under lockdown.
"There are sharpshooters on the roof, and police are negotiating with someone in the building," another witness told WMUR-TV.
Workers for Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign office in Rochester also were evacuated, a campaign spokesman said. The office is four doors away from Clinton’s. Staffers in John Edwards’ office, a few buildings away, evacuated as well.
Located 75 miles north of Boston in neighboring Massachusetts, Rochester is home to 30,117 people and the site of one of 16 of Clinton's offices in the state, according to Clinton's campaign Web site.
