A kook claiming to have a bomb took several people hostage inside a Hillary Clinton for President office in Rochester, New Hampshire this afternoon. The situation has come to an end, now, after a five-hour ordeal, but it was pretty high drama throughout the day.
A woman with a baby was released by the hostage-taker early on, she told a witness, Lettie Tzizik, who spoke to WMUR.
"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,' " the Web site reported.
Apparently, 46-year-old Leeland Eisenberg was distraught over the state of mental healthcare. He also has a prior arrest for alleged stalking.
New Hampshire's WMUR is getting a lot of attention today, and they have lots of info, including a statement from Camp Clinton.
