Two people held hostage at Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign office in Rochester, New Hampshire, have been freed.
Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign said it will release information when appropriate following a hostage situation in its Rochester, N.H. campaign office.
A man with a bomb strapped to his chest has taken two campaign workers hostage, according to WMUR-TV.
“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,’” said witness Lettie Tzizik, according to WMUR.
Other witnesses described the man as in his 40s with salt-and-pepper hair.
“There is an ongoing situation in our Rochester, NH office,” the Clinton campaign said in a statement. “We are in close contact with state and local authorities and are acting at their direction. We will release additional details as appropriate.”
Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign evacuated its Rochester campaign office in response to the situation, which has brought sharpshooters onto the roofs of businesses near the Clinton campaign. Sen. Hillary Clinton cancelled a speech she was planning to give at the Democratic National Committee winter meeting.
Rochester, a gritty, working class town that has been in decline for a number of years, is located just north of Dover on New Hampshire’s sea coast.
