A man dressed in an animal costume and wearing what police suspected was an explosive device strode into a Baltimore television station Thursday afternoon and, after a standoff, was shot three times by city police officers.

The 25-year-old man was in serious condition at a hospital Thursday night. The suspicious device turned out to be chocolate bars, wrapped in foil and attached to wires and a computer circuit board.

Police were investigating why the man, whom they did not identify, went to the FOX 45 television studios on 41st Street in Woodberry.

The fire rises!

Yeah, what exactly was he doing? Sounds like he wanted to get shot, making it look like his chocolates were bombs and ignoring police requests.

Sounds like a failed attempt at 'suicide by police'.

Now that you mention, it kinda does. Not sure where the suit comes into play, unless he was trying to mask his identity when doing it.

Surgical masks keep your warm breath in, but cold air still gets in through the gaps. Better off using a cloth so that there's no gaps for cold air to get in.

Some men just want to watch the world burn...apparently.

But in all seriousness, I have zero idea what was going on in that man's head. Was he suicidal, maniacal, psychopathic or something?
