Two hostages were released about 15 minutes ago, but it is unclear if there are more inside.
 
Ah jeez. I'm sure the guy's got a fake bomb, but jeez, the hostages/had been hostages and their pals and families could be scared shitless. I'm not a fan of any of the politicians right now, but come on, you can't mess with people like this. :\
 
According to ABC news, the suspect has a history of mental illness and has reportedly told his son to "watch the news" this afternoon.

Associated Press said:
A distraught man wearing what appeared to be a bomb walked into a Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign office Friday and demanded to speak to the candidate about access to mental health care. The hostage drama dragged on for nearly six hours until he peacefully surrendered.


Shortly after releasing the last of at least five hostages unharmed, 47-year-old Leeland Eisenberg walked out of the storefront office, put down a homemade bomb-like package and was immediately surrounded by SWAT team with guns drawn. Clad in grey slacks, white dress shirt and a red tie, he was put on the ground and handcuffed.

Wow, so close to his goal... as long as the innocent people were released unharmed, I'm cool with that.
 
I heard about this on the news yesterday, at least no one was seriously injured. .-.
 
I live about a half hour away. It was quite rare to have a bomb scare/hostage deal.
This was my first time hearing it in all the 22 years I've lived in this state.

Apparently his bombs were road flares.
