[link to abcnews.go.com] Environmental Militant Shot by Police at Discovery Channel Headquarters Police Say All Hostages Are Safe, Gunman James Lee in Custody By LAUREN EFFRON and RUSSELL GOLDMAN Sept. 1, 2010— A radical environmentalist who took three hostages at the Discovery Channel headquarters while wearing what police may be explosives was shot by officers and arrested, police said. The condition of the gunman, identified as James Lee, is unknown but the hostages are all safe, said Montgomery County Police Chief J. Thomas Manger. Manger said the suspect had "metallic canisters" strapped to his chest and back. When Lee was struck by police bullets, one of the canisters "popped." Police have not confirmed if the canisters were a bomb, but Manger said the "device may have gone off" when he was shot. Manger said police will search the building looking for other potential explosives Lee may have left inside. "All the hostages are safe," Manger said, ending a four hour standoff in which some 1,900 employees were evacuated from the building as well as the company's on-site daycare center. Manger said police spoke with Lee "for several hours" during which time he expressed "a wide range of emotions during those communications."
