Ongoing at this moment: a hostage-taking and a police standoff at an office building here in Charlotte. Hostage-taker armed, one report says with a machine gun. (Yeah, right.) And just two weeks before the NRA annual convention comes to town! My, how convenient.
 
David,

Did you live in Tullahoma Tennessee in your younger days? I used to live next door to a David Roberson.

Maybe a city official forgot his MP-5 in a restroom.
All kidding aside hope it ends soon and peaceful.
 
The situation has been resolved, and a 29-year old guy is in custody. No shots were fired, but one hostage suffered an asthma attack (the incident occurred in a medical office building here in town). As you might expect, it's a domestic problem -- the guy's wife worked in the building and was one of his hostages. The local police have a news conference set for 3 p.m. today.

No blood shed, so I guess another sleeper will have to be activated before the NRA convention.
 
Yep, must be time to ban BB guns also. Klintin/Bore will probably propose a BB gun ban today.
