Not Quite Breaking. It seems its over.
Here is an Updade:
Tehran (dpa - A hostage-taking Monday in a high school in Tehran ended peacefully after a police psychologist persuaded the hostage- taker to surrender.
A police officer told reporters that the man, in his forties, was a former soldier during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war and wanted government support for his military service.
The gunman, wearing a grenade belt, entered the Falaq high school and took over a hundred pupils and teachers hostage, warning he would detonate the explosives if the government did not fulfil his demands.
However, he surrendered after a police psychologist promised to follow up his case and communicate his demands to the government.
Massoud, one of the hostages, said that the gunman entered the school and shooting in the air, forced more than one hundred pupils and teachers to gather in one of the classrooms.
The gunman also brought his daughter with him, but she cried all the time and said she had been forced to accompany her father, the seventh grade student said.
The man said he had served the country for many years during the Iran-Iraq war, but now had nothing and he demanded his rights as a war veteran, Massoud said, adding that the man seemed to be mentally unstable.

Thanks for the update.
Now, lets not be too hasty on our characterizations... Maybe he was just thinking 'outside of the box'.

Probably you will never hear from the perpetrator again. Unless they decide to make his execution public.
