Police were negotiating by phone with the gunman, who burst into the suburban Washington building about 1 p.m. waving a handgun. The gunman took what Montgomery County Police Chief Thomas Manger described as a "small number of hostages" but he did not say how many. He also did not say what the man wanted or whether anyone was hurt. Police had not confirmed whether the canisters were explosives. Manger said most of the 1,900 people who work in the building were able to get out safely. A law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing said authorities have identified James J. Lee as the likely suspect. A different official, who spoke on condition of anonymity for the same reason, said Lee previously protested outside the building, where he was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct in February 2008, according to court records.[/release] :ohdear:
