Reports: Two hostages freed at Clinton campaign office
Story Highlights
NEW: Two hostages released from Clinton campaign office, WMUR says
Woman freed earlier with baby says man had bomb, WMUR reports
Sen. Clinton not in the state
(CNN) -- Two people held hostage at Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign office in Rochester, New Hampshire, have been freed, CNN affiliate WMUR said Friday.
Neither hostage was harmed, another affiliate, WCVB, reported on its Web site.
CNN has confirmed that at least one hostage has walked free, about two hours after the situation began.
A man walked into the office at about 1 p.m., Maj. Michael Hambrook of the New Hampshire State Police told CNN affiliate WMUR-TV.
Hambrook and Clinton campaign officials said two people were believed to be inside.
Shortly before 2 p.m., police officers were gathered across the street from the office, some kneeling behind police cruisers with guns drawn. Watch police take up positions »
Witnesses described the man as in his 40s with salt-and-pepper hair, WMUR reported.
A woman and her baby were released by the hostage-taker, the woman told workers at a nearby business, according to the WMUR Web site.
A witness, Lettie Tzizik, told WMUR she spoke to a woman shortly after she was released from the office by the hostage-taker.
"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.
Bill Shaheen, chairman of Clinton's New Hampshire campaign, told WMUR that the people being held were volunteers.
"Hopefully, they're going to negotiate this so no one gets hurt," Shaheen said.
Clinton, a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, is in the Washington area.
She was scheduled to speak at 3 p.m. at a Democratic National Committee event, but canceled the talk because of the situation, DNC Chairman Howard Dean said. Watch Dean break the news »
"Unfortunately as some of you know, there is a hostage situation in New Hampshire involving a Clinton campaign staff person," Dean told those who had gathered for the event.
"The details are sketchy at this time, but understandably Senator Clinton is now dealing with this very difficult problem and she is not going to be able to join us today. And we will keep them in our prayers and hope for a resolution to this situation in New Hampshire."
Buildings close to the storefront campaign office on Main Street were evacuated, including local campaign centers for Clinton's Democratic presidential rivals, Sen. Barack Obama and former senator John Edwards.
Cassandra Hamilton, who works in an office adjacent to the Clinton office, told WMUR: "I walked out and I immediately started running, and I saw that the road was blocked off. They told me run and keep going."
Yo, turn on your TV's people. This is going on right now.

This isn't quite as exciting as the last time people were telling each other to turn on their TVs to watch CNN. So the hostages are released, everybody else has been evacuated, and nobody "important" is around.

The sad thing is the biggest concern of mine is that this will somehow boost her ratings/ number of voters in Iowa.
Oh yeah, and It would also be good if no one dies.

The guy who was protesting the cops putting the fliers in cars is the guy holding the hostages.
Kind of funny how few responses this topic has bred.
