VIDEO at link Police evacuated the offices of Fox 45 Baltimore Thursday afternoon after a man lit a car on fire in the parking lot, walked into the building’s lobby and threatened to set off a bomb, the station reported. The man appeared to be wearing a bulky suit. The news station reports he made the bomb threat to a security guard in the lobby. Firefighters rushed to the scene and extinguished the fire. According to the station’s security guard an unidentified suspect threatened to “blow up” the building. Outside, a parked sedan was burning from its gas tank.Evacuating staff spotted a man standing in the vestibule attached to the station lobby. A 25-year-old man who threatened to blow up a Baltimore Fox TV station Thursday and then was shot by police did not have a bomb, but a device that was chocolate bars held together by wires, according to the Baltimore Police Department. The suspect had refused to cooperate with officers, police spokesman T.J. Smith said. When he walked out of the building, he was wearing a white panda suit, a surgical mask and sunglasses before being shot by three officers. A bomb robot then scanned him for nearly an hour before police removed his clothing, picked him up and carried him into an armored van. Crews transferred him to an ambulance minutes later. Smith said he was in serious, but stable condition at a local hospital. Smith added the suspect was not armed with a bomb, but with candy bars wrapped in plastic. He said the chocolate candy bars were wrapped together with a "motherboard," as well as wires in the suspect's shirt.

“A man wearing a bulky suit,” sounds like Michael Moore, except that it wasn’t the suit that was bulky.

Ahh... the only conjecture I see is coming from you

That's correct, the reporter did not engage in conjecture. I'm not a reporter, so I was going by what I saw, which was totally conjecture, and you disapproved. Thus I must conclude that you agree with me, LOL.

While it's true that his online activity can be scrubbed, there is no evidence to make one believe that would be the case here.

I just watched the video though, and since I see it is Shep, then I am all wet on more information forthcoming, LOL.

We'll have to wait until a real reporter reports on the story.

Can’t wait for the background here. Of course, he may die, but if not, can’t wait to find out what the conspiracies are.
