(CNN) -- Police are at a Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign office in New Hampshire to address what CNN affiliates are reporting as a hostage situation.

Emergency crews arrive at the office building in Rochester, New Hampshire, Friday.

The affiliates said the incident began about 1 p.m. at the headquarters in Rochester.

WCVB-TV in Boston said it is unclear how many people were being held.

WMUR in New Hampshire said the hostage-taker was an armed man.

The WMUR Web site said a witness, Lettie Tzizik, told the station she spoke to a woman shortly after she was released from the office by the hostage-taker.

"A young woman with a 6-month or 8-month-old infant came rushing into the store just in tears, and she said, 'You need to call 911. A man has just walked into the Clinton office, opened his coat and showed us a bomb strapped to his chest with duct tape,'" the Web site reported.

Clinton was in the Washington area at the time of the incident.

Details are still coming in.

So now can we expect the pundits to talk about how she carried the sympathy vote category if she wins new hampshire?

PS. I hope everyone is OK in this incident.

Hill: "ok.. now Billy.. you get your idiot brother Roger to duct tape some big ole hot dogs to his chest after paintin' em white and run into my campaign office.. where.. where.. where.. not NY.. too contrived.. where.. Oh yes.. Joisey.... and he'll yell and scream he's got a bomb.... and that way, since I'm beginnin' to lag in the poles, I can get me some good sympathy votes."

Bill: "well.. Hillary.. Ah just don't know."

Hill: "DO IT !!!"

Bill: "Ok, sweetie."

Roger must have gotten lost on the way to Joisey. He ended up in New Hampshire.

Apparently, no one wanted to listen to her health care plan for the millionth time...so someone came up with the idea of a "captive audience."

Ba-zing! I'm here all week folks!


Hope no one gets blown up, srsly.

Leeland Eisenberg is the suspect.

He made a name for himself once before:
