A costumed man claiming to have documents related to “Panama papers” on a flash drive prompted an evacuation of the WBFF TV station in Baltimore, Maryland. A vehicle was set on fire in the parking lot outside the station, a local Fox affiliate. Firefighters have put out the fire, while a large police presence was on the scene, investigating reports of a man wearing a “bulky suit of some kind” in the building lobby.

WBFF reporter Shelley Orman said there was a “man inside the lobby saying he has a bomb strapped to him.” Around 3 p.m. local time, Orman reported that she heard several loud shots, and the police radio saying the suspect will need medical attention. FULL REPORT
