He’s either a former postal employee or he is upset about Obamacare.

including three employees and two customers

No wonder they have to keep raising the costs of stamps.

Wow. My Mom lives near there. Never thought I’d hear about that sort of thing in W-ville.

Some dear friends of ours left Atlanta last night to spend time with relatives there...last report they are trying to find theiir elderly Dad who went to the post office earlier.....

This is a very small town....I’m sure they know most of the people involved....

She reported to my wife that a “one leeged guy in a wheel chair is armed with a bomb strapped to his chest”

Just now heard about that from a co-worker. Very surprising.

We've stayed overnight in Wytheville a few times - nice little town in a beautiful setting. I learned to pronouce the name correctly: "with-vul".

Here's hoping all ends well.

***Totally unconfirmed***

I was just told that the guy has FIVE POUNDS of C-4 on his wheelchair, and two people have been killed.

If true, 5 lbs of C-4 would do an incredible amount of damage. They would need to evacuate the surrounding area. I have a difficult time believing it. We’ll see.

My Mother and Father and some of my siblings lived in W-vul. Some still do.

My mom and dad ran ‘shine for a long time. Fine God fearing - gun toting - down to earth Americans.

I miss them.

5 held hostage by disabled man demanding pizza

http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-virginia-hostage-standoff,0,4837532.story

"Shots were fired, but there were no reports of injuries. The man made no demands other than to ask for a pizza, said Pete Rendina, spokesman for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service."

It’s time to shut down all post offices permanently before more people die. If it saves one life, wouldn’t it be worth it?
