Breaking News: Armed Man Takes Hostages At Clinton Campaign Headquarters In New Hampshire

A man reported to have a bomb has taken hostages at Hillary Clinton’s campaign office in Rochester, New Hampshire. Police are on the scene.

Updates to follow as information becomes available…

[Update #1] Sen. Clinton is not in New Hampshire; she’s in DC at this time. Further reports indicate that the man claims to have a bomb. A witness has reported seeing a device strapped to the hostage taker.

[Update #2] Sen. Clinton has canceled her scheduled speech to the DNC today.

[Update #3] Reports are that the hostage is demanding to speak with Sen. Clinton.

[Update #4] Confirmed hostage count: two adult volunteers

[Update #5] Clinton Campaign statement:

“There is an ongoing situation in our Rochester, NH office. We are in close contact with state and local authorities and are acting at their direction. We will release additional details as appropriate.”

[Update #6] I’m confused why Fox News is showing live footage of the police taking positions outside the office, when all of the coverage of this situation has indicated that they will not be running live footage because authorities have requested they not do so.  For obvious reasons, running live footage from a helicopter that shows the police activity outside the office could potentially give the hostage taker tactical information.
