Discovery Channel Building Under Siege

About 100 children were safely evacuated from the Discovery Channel day care center after a gunman walked into Discovery Channel headquarters, fired a shot and said, according to police and witnesses, "Nobody is going anywhere!" The children were moved to a nearby McDonalds where they can safely wait out the crisis.

The gunman, who apparently fired a shot around 1pm is said to be Asian, also reportedly has an object strapped to his body, suspected to be an explosive device. He is holding at least 1 hostage, however, one witness reports a number of people lying on the floor.

According to Police spokesman they are in contact with the gunman who has a number of demands and wants to communicate with Discovery Channel executives.

This story is still unfolding. I will update as I get more information.
