Swat team members stand outside a Hillary Clinton campaign office in Rochester, New Hampshire earlier this evening.

A man police identified as Lee Eisenberg walked into a Clinton campaign office in Rochester, NH earlier this afternoon, claiming he had a bomb strapped to his chest and began taking hostages. The suspect has since been arrested and no one was harmed.

Eisenberg had a history of mental illness; Clinton wasn’t in New Hampshire today; she was in Washinton, D.C. preparing a speech for the Democratic National Committe. It is not clear this was an attack directed toward her.

The New York Times covered the incident via live blog posts.

Update 6:30pm: All’s well that ends well, I suppose. The police have resolved the situation peacefully and arrested Eisenberg - it seems that indeed, it was an unstable guy using flares, not a bomb. Even so, I wonder what the fallout will be…

Ironically, Eisenberg was calling Wolf Blitzer while he was in there, complaining about America’s mental health situation.

Earlier this afternoon, commenters on different blogs were already speculating on what this could mean for Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Will it bring Clinton sympathy, even though she wasn’t there? I think that will depend on her response - she’s already canceled a speech she was giving in Virginia this evening.

Others have said something along the lines of, well, if she can’t keep a New Hampshire outpost safe, how can she secure the country? But that’s not really fair. No one wants a police state - no one wants every campaign office to be a fortress.
