Hard to tell, the shots we saw showed a guy standing by the window with arms folded and another to the left standing around. This was on the top floor of the building.
I saw that shot. Couldn't tell if guns were involved or not. I guess what has me a bit more worried than a "normal" hostage situation is that it's at a consulate
Now tape on MSNBC showoing a gunman dragging a woman out -- SWAT team shot the guy and the hostage is OK--
Number hostages/hostage takers unknown . . .
Saw this on tv and called my wife at work. Turns out that the building she works at is about half a block from the scene. It can be seen from the aerial shot. Too close for comfort and she was too busy to talk. Keeping my fingers crossed.
