Hostage Situation at Clinton Office
November 30, 2007 2:09 PM
A man who claimed he had a bomb strapped to his body walked into a Hillary Clinton campaign office in Rochester, N.H., initially taking four hostages, law enforcement sources said.
Two of the four hostages -- an adult and a child -- subsequently were released, the sources said. It was unclear whether additional hostages were released.
The man with the apparent pipe bomb asked to speak to Clinton, a source said.
The suspect was a well-known local man with a history of emotional issues who allegedly told his son to watch the news, a well-placed law enforcement source told ABC News' Pierre Thomas.
Clinton apparently was not at the New Hampshire office. She canceled an appearance at a Democratic National Committee meeting in Northern Virginia outside of Washington, D.C., DNC Chairman Howard Dean said, because of "a hostage situation involving a Clinton staffer" in New Hampshire.
Clinton's office released the following statement on the emergency: "There is an ongoing situation in our Rochester, N.H., office. We are in close contact with state and local authorities and are acting at their direction. We will release additional details as appropriate."
State and local police in New Hampshire were handling the emergency, but federal SWAT and hostage teams were on standby, law enforcement sources said.
New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley was already at the DNC meeting in Virginia, and remained there as the emergency in New Hampshire panned out. He listened to a live Web stream by ABC News affiliate WMUR, but was not immediately in touch with colleagues on the ground in Rochester.
As the emergency at the Clinton office played out, rival campaign offices nearby -- for Sen. Barack Obama and former Sen. John Edwards -- were evacuated as a precaution.
