Hostage standoff at Hillary's NH office

We are continuing to follow this as it happens.  Thankfully, some hostages have been released:

A deranged man wearing what appeared to be a bomb strapped to his chest walked into a Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign office Friday, took several hostages and demanded to speak tothe candidate during a nearly four-hour standoff, authorities said.

The man released the last of the hostages as the afternoon wore on,but he remained in the office and was not immediately taken intocustody.

Clinton was in the Washington area at the time, and extra securityprecautions were taken to protect the former first lady, who still hasa Secret Service detail, said a law-enforcement official, who spoke toThe Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was notauthorized to discuss the situation.

The man entered the simple storefront office along the town's mainstreet around 1 p.m., ordered people onto the floor and then let amother and her baby leave, said State Police Maj. Michael Hambrook.

Now it turns out the man used road flares -- reminiscent of the movie Tommy Boy.
