They are not sure what happened. But this might have something to do with Labor disputes.

I wish they would go back to it so I can figure out what is really going on.

It is a really large building. I am not sure if they said it has a courtroom in it or not.

this is from yahoo

A man pulled a gun during a legal proceeding Thursday and took as many as nine people hostage in an office in a central Phoenix high-rise, authorities said.

Police Sgt. Andy Hill said the gunman and hostages were inside a hearing room in a National Labor Relations Board office on the building's 18th floor. The floors immediately above and below were evacuated.

"We are not aware that anyone has been hurt or that any shots have been fired," Hill said.

He said police had been in contact with the gunman, and that the man had been in touch with members of his family. Hill said authorities had successfully negotiated several things with the gunman, but he wouldn't elaborate.

Hostages' relatives and co-workers were at a nearby restaurant, a Fire Department spokesman said.

It was not immediately clear if the man was a participant in the labor proceeding — which an NLRB official called a "litigated trial" — or a bystander.

Cornele Overstreet, an NLRB regional director, told the local Fox TV affiliate that the gunman first "shouted out something" and grabbed a secretary as she was coming out of a bathroom.

Sioux Jeffrey, who works in another office on the same floor, said a man from the labor office came to her workplace "and told us to evacuate. 'There's a man with a gun.'"

Everyone quietly left and walked down the stairs, she said.

 

[Mom2Ashli]

it appears that it is over a labor dispute.

One lady has escaped.

And it is going on 6 hours and he still has 8 people hostage.

 

[Mom2Ashli]

Not they are not sure if he is going to be angry now that she escaped. Oh man I sure how not. Those poor people.

 

[Mom2Ashli]

Man I am praying that he keeps his cool and everyone goes home safe and sound.
