I’ve never seen that in my 12+ years of freeping. At first, I wondered if the thread was even supposed to be up. Any idea why all these posts have been removed?

Why are all of the posts being removed?

A software bug?

I didn’t think it was that easy to smuggle explosives into an office building these days.

UPDATE: 1:50 p.m.: According to Cpl. Dan Friz, a Montgomery County police spokesman, a tactical team is trying to get in touch with the gunman, who is being monitored on closed circuit TV.

The “tactical team has put together a plan for dealing with this individual,” Friz told ABC 7 News.

Friz was unable to confirm reports that multiple shots have been fired, but he said no shots had been fired by police as of 1:40 p.m.

Police were initially dispatched to the building for the report of shots fired at about 1 p.m. Police are reporting the suspect is an Asian male.

“Some sort of device on him that may be explosive in nature...” Friz said.

ORIGINAL

Montgomery County police have confirmed the Discovery Communications headquarters on Georgia Avenue in downtown Silver Spring has been evacuated after the report of a man possibly with explosives inside the building.

A man entered the lobby and may have fired a weapon and declared, “Nobody is going anywhere,” Montgomery County police said.

In a phone interview on ABC 7 News and TBD TV, Discovery Communication employee Lisa Lucas said the building is in lockdown, with an unknown number of employees sheltering in offices. Police have established a cordon around the building.

She said that about 1:20 p.m., “we heard, Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.”

Police have not confirmed that multiple shots were fired.

I was able to click back and look, and the 2 I saw that were removed were jokes.

How much of their operations does Discovery have in that building? Not insinuating they could replace things lost if the guy does press the button, just wondering the capabilities of that specific location.

The guy in the pic is Asian too. And he doesn’t look happy.

Not that it means he’s a maniac, but kudos for finding that.

Good work.

They are hearing from scanner information that it may be an ex-employee.

Reporter is saying someone is angry about them broadcasting “Whale Wars.”

Most sensible comment I've seen yet.

Some guy tweeted a pic he said was the gunman sent to him by a colleague.
