As BNO adds, the incident began on early Thursday afternoon when a man wearing a onesie and a face mask entered the TV station’s building and approached a person working at the front desk, claiming that he had a bomb and had a message that he wanted to be heard. The station’s security guard, speaking to reporters near the scene, said the suspect had “something” strapped to his chest and handed over a flash drive which contained rants regarding black holes, space and the U.S. government.

“He walked in, opened up his hedgehog outfit that he had on, and he pretty much said he had a bomb on him, and he had a message that he needed to be heard,” the security guard said. “He had a flash drive with him, he handed me the flash drive.”

The security guard said he looked at the contents of the flash drive and said it contained rantings related to space. “Black holes, the sun, about it being liquid in gas, and just wanted to say that the government is wrong and thinking about the way they do when it comes to anything in space,” he said.

During the incident, the gas tank of a car parked in the TV station’s parking lot was set on fire, but the fire failed to spread and was quickly extinguished by the Baltimore Fire Department. People are being urged to avoid the area.
