Nope, does not look good.

I think I need my eyes testing as well.

I quickly read the tagline and thought it said "German takes Hostages in NY State", got me wondering how they knew he was german? doh!

About 100 miles from my sister in Stamford CT. Did have a yikes moment then looked on the map as she's always in NYC itself. Binghamton is 120 odd miles North East of NYC.
Well I'm not sure how close it is tbh.
But when we drive up from Pennsylvania I have to remember to turn towards Binghampton not Elmira smile

Yep Binghampton is on the PA NY border just north of Scranton, best known for it's AHL Hockey team.
News is sketchy at present, CNN doing mostly guesswork.

What makes you think that? I assumed he's just a loon who doesn't have any demands.

NW, and 200 miles.

If you went NE you would be in the Atlantic.

Binghamton is the next 'big town' from Syracuse... Too many of these shootings.. It's getting silly.
