And now they are saying it’s an adult gunman. Of course, so was that psycho in Canada a few weeks ago.

The latest I can find out is that he now has released all but 2 of the hostages, he has 2 girls with him, but police are negotiating.
Snipers are in position though.
No reports of any casualties as yet.
I hope that stays the same.
