Gunman Holding Discovery Channel Hostage
The man has been identified as James Jay Lee.
The Discovery Channel building where he has taken at least one person hostage, but there may be more, is located in Silver Spring, MD.
It is confirmed that he had a gun and it is thought that he has an explosive device. It is not certain, but photos and cameras seem to detect a metal device strapped to his chest.
All the children from the daycare at the Silver Spring, MD Discovery Communications building have been safely evacuated.

Lee was arrested earlier this year for littering.
The story is still developing.

Post a Commenthorrific event
great job on this terrible event
Wow! Nuts.
Well done. Page love!
I heard about this earlier today, even d-loaded his Manafesto. He's got one or two valid ideas, just way-out extreme in the solutions. Maybe Discovery will make a few changes....?
So many losing it these days.
That's just crazy.
Would you mind taking the link to my Livejournal off of this post, please? I know my LJ is public, but I'd rather not be inundated with comments. Here's a link to a Huffington Post article with the demands transcribed: http://current.com/1ngin4c
I hope this comes to a peaceful resolution and no one gets hurt.
What a crazy world!
