NORMAN, Okla. (AP) Police in Oklahoma say negotiators have made contact with a person holding hostages in an office complex.
Norman Police Capt. Tom Easley said Monday afternoon that negotiators are talking with the suspect. Easley says the person is holding an unknown number of hostages inside the Nextep building. He told reporters the person is armed with a pistol.
Aerial footage from television news stations showed numerous police vehicles and some ambulances at the scene. However, Easley said there have been no reports of anyone being injured.
Easley said police don't know who the person is or know what his motivations are. He said it's an "excellent sign" that the suspect is talking to negotiators.
Groups of people could be seen running from the building throughout the afternoon.

Most likely an excellent sign they don't know what they are talking about..I'd say.
