Dec.24, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The crisis going at the Wytheville Post Office has been finally resolved. According to the reports, a man managed to enter the post office with a wheelchair, that had explosives wrapped around it. Thereafter he managed to take some people inside as hostages. However, the man who entered with the explosive strapped wheelchair did not ask for money. He wanted to have a pizza. The incident created a ruckus in the post office, as anyone can assume.
After the incident became known to the cops, Virginia State police decided to send a bomb technician, along with a SWAT team to the place. Even though shots were heard, no injuries have been reported. The shopkeepers who have shops near the post office were asked by the cops to leave their premises for some time. The man had adequate explosives with him to burst the entire block, as the cops assumed. The man came in a car and parked it outside the post office. Later the police found grenades in it. Later the police managed to nab him and he was seen walking out of the place with his hands raised.
The identity of the man remains to be known. However, he kept the people inside the post office terrified for some time. The motive of the attack is something the cops want to probe. It is being said that he managed to take around 5 people as hostages. After the man came out of the post office, the cops searched the place thoroughly to ensure no one else remained inside.
