DEVELOPING: Police in Maryland are responding to a hostage situation after reports that a man with a handgun entered the Discovery Channel headquarters building in Silver Spring and fired at least one shot.
An official with the Montgomery County Police Department confirmed to Fox News that a man with an explosive device is holding at least one person hostage in the lobby of the building.
A Discovery employee reportedly told WJLA-TV that the building, located in suburban Washington, D.C., was on lockdown. The employee also said she thought she had heard five or six gunshots.
Dan Friz, a spokesman with the Montgomery County Police Department, reportedly told the station that a tactical team is trying to communicate with the gunman.
Friz said police were initially dispatched to the building after a report of shots fired at approximately 1 p.m.
The suspect, identified by police as an Asian male, has "some sort of device on him that may be explosive in nature," Friz said.
Some witnesses reported that the man fired a shot before declaring, "Nobody is going anywhere," according to police.

I'm a little pissed Shark Week is over, too.

Hostages are safe, he's been captured.

Here's his MySpace, interesting in his blogs on the side that he says he's "ready to go all the way with this one".

Good riddance - I'm not sure he wouldn't have done something else stupid had he lived.

Um, I love animals, too, but yeesh. Still, this (from his website) makes me giggle:

"Saving the environment and the remaning species diversity of the planet is now your mindset. Nothing is more important than saving them. The Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels."

Well, of COURSE the Squirrels!
