WMAR
A man is in police custody after allegedly stealing a truck and ramming it into the lobby of WMAR-TV’s Towson, Maryland, studio Tuesday. He had barricaded himself inside the building, police say. The station’s employees got outside, and mostly reported on the day’s events via Twitter.
So here is my first hand reporter's account (odd btw): suspect tried to get in building screaming LET ME IN and said he was God. 1/2 #Team2

2/2: got into a landscaping truck and rammed the building like 3 times. I saw last 3 as he broke through into lobby. #Team2

We don't really know what's going on. We are being kept far away. The truck is in the lobby, no word on the guy #ABC2

So never been the story before. This is odd. But know this could take a while looking at a barricade situation in our station #ABC2News

Just did head count. Everyone is out of building and safe. Many are calling loved ones now to let them know they are ok. #team2. @ABC2News
— Jeff Herman (@JeffABC2News) May 13, 2014
So suspect may be armed. We keep getting pushed back totally out of site of station. #Team2

Heard thumping. Looked out newsroom door and watched what looked like a F350 just slam through vestibule & shatter front glass doors #team2
— Jeff Herman (@JeffABC2News) May 13, 2014
We ran through newsroom with @KellyfromABC2 screaming for everyone to get out. Went out back door to lot. #team2
— Jeff Herman (@JeffABC2News) May 13, 2014
In waiting mode now. Again, everyone accounted do @ABC2NEWS #team2

So apparently #CNN WJZ and others are quoting my tweets as part of their coverage. Again…allow me to express how weird this is? #Team2
