Hostage released, suspect still holed up in mail truck

[PhiKapMom]

Fox and MSNBC reporting there is postal truck being driven by a woman postal employee that has been hijacked. People are actually approaching the truck as it slows down and one guy just threw his hands in the air as the postal truck drove off!

Carol City!

According to Fox the police are now trailing far behind and waiting for the truck to run out of gas. It is bizarre!

[JennysCool]

Threw his hands in the air? Did he get them back?

Seriously, please keep-the Fox-deprived up to date. Thanks.

LOL!! Lot's of strange humor on FR today...

[PhiKapMom]

LOL!!! The news media out of Miami from their helicopter has had pictues of the female postal worker as well as the gunman where you can see the gun.

I'm watching...with added interest..This is scary...but then, I'm the mother of a "postman"...my youngest daughter.

Postal truck jacker has 2 guns. Police are trying to hold back and let postal truck run out of gas. Pray for the postal worker that she is not harmed.

[PhiKapMom]

Yes it is scarey! Cannot imagine what the driver of the truck is going through.

Have a niece that drives a postal truck in West Palm Beach too!

This is all so strange and the poor people in their front yards have no idea what is going on until they approach the truck.

[PhiKapMom]

Fox reports that gun shots have been fired during all of this.

[YaYa123]

The helicopter got a shot of the two weapons. a pistol and a rifle.

screwy driving. According to MSNBC, they say the female postal person is driving, the hijacker obviously ordering her where to go...She must be terrified. just made a u turn, doesn't go on the inter-state. He's driving through neighborhoods, little 2 lane neighborhood streets, stopping and starting, speeding up then slowing down...really strange.

It may be the hijacker is doing the driving, I'm not clear on that.

[PhiKapMom]

Armed person who stole the truck fired at least one shot at the police.

Note how fox is not going to any commercials.......

I'm guessing the gunman is an estranged boyfriend or husband. Lord, protect this woman!

[Thane_Banquo]

Guns don't kill people. Postal workers do.

[PhiKapMom]

Fox just reported the mail person is driving the truck and the hostage taker is giving her instructions. Person is talking with the police over a cell phone.

"Female Postal Worker, is driving the truck"
...from the news scroll on MSNBC.

Chase has been going on for about 50 minutes.

[JennysCool]

Good Lord. I wonder what his motivation might be. Surely he didn't think he was going to get away with a mail truck??? Probably just another nut. Sigh...
