Wytheville Post Office, Wytheville Hostage

Wytheville Post Office, Wytheville Hostage latest news updates :- A three-block area of the town of Wytheville (WITH’-ville) Virginia, has been sealed off because a gunman is holding five people hostage at a post office. The armed man in a wheelchair fired shots but there are no reports of injuries. Negotiators are trying to talk him into surrendering.

Wythe Co. Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Keith Dunagan says the suspect still has not told officers what his name is, but is claiming to be a veteran of the Marine Corps, and not from Wytheville.  Officers believe a red truck at the scene is the suspect’s.

Dunagan says the suspect has not made any additional demands, other than food and to talk with the FBI and a bomb tech expert.  Dunagan says the suspect has spoken with the FBI, as well as explosives experts, and the FBI is now handling the negotiating.

Dunagan added that more FBI agents are on the way, since the post office is a federal building.
