WMAR in Baltimore is on lock down

This is my sister station in Baltimore. Really scary sight right now.

There was a man who was screaming at the front door demanding to be let in and calling himself God. When the station refused to allow him to come in, he decided to steal a truck and ram it through the front door. He is armed and now held up in the area surrounding Master Control (an area that is where most of the TV signals are sent out over the air for those not in TV). All of the staff is out of the building and they are currently off the air.

There is a live stream on a few sites including my station - www.wptv.com.

I'm so glad my colleagues are OK and are safe away from this building. Scary business we work in sometimes.
