Writing a different lead...

Three people held hostage instead of just one, one wounded, the bad guy.

More here.

Police are monitoring a hostage situation as an unidentified gunman described as "of Asian descent" entered the Discovery Channel Building in Silver Springs, Maryland firing at least one shot, according to news reports.

Police say the suspect is also holding what appears to be an explosive device in the lobby of the building.

The assault began just after 1300 hrs when the suspect entered the building after firing one shot from a firearm.

It is uncertain what the demands of the suspect is. News reports say portions of the building have been evacuated including a child care center.
