Rather than prayers by the assembled watchers, perhaps G-d wants people to stop standing around the well waiting like ghouls for the dead body of the pony-tailed six year old girl to be brought up. In other words, the world is still going on elsewhere.

A person inside the building told The Associated Press says the man had something strapped to his chest and has hostages. The person refused to be identified, saying people inside have been told not to speak to the media.

A SWAT team is on the scene, CBS News reports. The man is being watched on closed-circuit television, and a tactical team is trying to reach him.

Sheree Mixell, assistant special agent in charge of the Baltimore field division office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said agents are responding to the scene.

The building has been evacuated.

WJZ has learned at 1:20 p.m. all employees received an email warning employees to lock themselves in an office. At 1:22 p.m., all employees received another email saying they were evacuating the building through a specific entrance/exit.

Anon1978: Rumors Swirl That Discovery Channel Hostage Situation Could Be Related to Animal Planet’s Whale Wars

[dbwz]

Just saw that. Cripes, what a loon. But the info on the page source says 7-18-2010 was the creation and save date.

[brytlea]

Oh, I didn’t even catch that.

[radiohead]

I’m talking to my mother now, who is just down the street from there, at the Blair apartments. How freaky to come home and see this stuff on the news, blocks from where I used to live! At Discovery, no less!

[Locomotive Breath]

That’s a show I watch and was my first thought. I watch just to laugh at the hippies trying to run a ship. But it’s pretty clear the Japanese are really really pissed off at the Sea Shepherds and, probably, by extension Animal Planet (Discovery Channel). It’s definitely a “Let’s Hate on Japan” show.

MONT.CO. POLICE: Hostage-taker & armed man is an Asian Male who has an “issue” with the Disocvery Corporation... what sort of ‘beef ‘would somebody have against the Discovery Channel???

Most workers have been evacuated from building, per one of the evacuees. Hostages are most likely “security members.”

Well—go find him and take him out!—literally, I mean. Then you can get back to business.

[Bob Buchholz]

I just got word that my nephew had been told to lock himself in his office but got a call to evacuate. He is on his way home right now.

Thanks for your concern.
