At least one device explodes as James Jay Lee is gunned down
Lee said he had been inspired by Al Gore’s ‘An Inconvenient Truth’
His website urged people to stop having ‘disgusting babies’ and halt overpopulation.
He had been arrested in 2008 for protesting outside the same building
A gunman has been shot dead by police after taking a number of hostages at the Discovery Channel headquarters in Maryland, U.S., after his idea for a television show was rejected.
All three of James Jay Lee’s hostages managed to escape safely. At least one device appeared to explode as he was gunned down.
Lee walked into the main entrance of the building at 1pm today waving a gun and wearing what appeared to be metallic canisters strapped to his front and back.
