The real tragedy of James Lee and the Discovery Channel hostage crisis
The hostage situation at the Discovery Channel headquarters today was tragic. I’m not talking about the demise of the gunman, James Lee, who was shot dead by police. And I’m not talking about the three hostages, who made it out unharmed. I’m talking about the kids who had been in a day care program in the building when the whole thing went down:
A day care inside One Discovery Place was successfully evacuated, and the children were moved to a McDonald’s restaurant, authorities said. Witnesses said some of the children were in cribs on wheels, and that people pushed the cribs out of the building to safety.
