New reports say that the gunman is Asian.

"Paging Jon Gosselin....."

He's demanding the head of whoever green-lit the Sarah Palin show.

I love the comment: "He certainly is asking a lot from a cable station"

I know people who work there. I hope they're okay. It's been almost 3 hours and there's no official word whether it's one hostage or two and why an ambulance crew wheeled in a gurney around 2 PM.

---

Now they're saying a "small number of hostages." We've heard from one friend but she didn't say anything about the others.
Police: Hostages taken at Discovery Channel headquarters

Don't try to take Georgia Avenue anywhere today, Bella.

It appears that the crisis has been resolved. The MCPD Cheif reports that the suspect has been sg=hot (he didn't say if he was injured or killed) and all three hostages are free.

Yes it was. PJ - Addy heard from her friends who work there - are they the same friends as your's? They were fine, thankfully.

CBS news is reporting that the suspect is, indeed, dead.

Gunman Carefully Planned Attack on Discovery Channel

My coworker's mother works there and called her after she had evacuated, which is how we found out. I know a lot of people who work there through my own work, including someone I was supposed to call yesterday afternoon.
