Senator Hillary Clinton is in New Hampshire to thank local and state police for their efforts in ending Friday's hostage crisis.

Yesterday afternoon a New Hampshire man, who was known to local police, walked into the Senator's presidential campaign office and took several people hostage.

The crisis ended peacefully 6 hours later after the suspect had released all his hostages and gave himself up.

Friday evening, Senator Clinton credited local authorities for their efforts.

"We were in touch from the moment this began with local, county, state, federal law enforcement. And I am so grateful to them for their response, which brought this hostage situation to such a good ending."

The suspect is 47 year old Leland Eisenberg from Somersworth.

He's currently in custody in Rochester.
