Baltimore's Fox 45 office evacuated after man claims to have bomb

The headquarters of Fox 45 Baltimore has been evacuated after a man dressed as a hedgehog walked in claiming to have a bomb, Fox News reported. 

The unidentified suspect dressed in costume entered the Fox 45 offices on the city's TV Hill at 1:00pm and told staff he had an explosive strapped to his chest.

A short time later the man, who is said to be in his 20s, was gunned down by police after continually ignoring their requests.

Pictures taken from outside the building show the individual leaning against the wall of the lobby and looking relaxed.

He also appeared to be wearing a white medical mask and black sunglasses during the bizarre confrontation.
