Alleged suicide bomber holds NH political campaign office hostage

I know this isn't really a huge thing, but I had to post it just because it happened basically in my Hometown

The standoff took over 6 hours, and we had a good sized crowd of police, bomb squad, FBI, State Troopers and TV crews cramming the surrounding streets today. My niece was in lockdown at the highschool for an hour, wasn't too happy about it. Theyre located right next door to where I usually get Oxygen for my mom's air machine.

Turns out the guy had some road flares strapped to his waist, plus he's basically had a life crash within the past year. They said he'd been drinking nonstop for 72 HRS. Its pretty wild to see something of this nature happen here, where usually the biggest news is what shows up in the police log. Kinda freaky considering this guy was a typical example of what a person from there is like...
