[CBSNEWS] A man wearing a panda onesie and a surgical mask who claimed he had a bomb strapped to his chest at FOX45's television station in Baltimore, Maryland, was shot by police after he exited the building.Earlier, the television station had been evacuated after the suspect entered the lobby and claimed to have a bomb, CBS Baltimore reported.
Baltimore Police spokesperson T.J. Smith told news hounds that after the suspect exited the building, he would not comply with officer's orders, and a sniper shot him.
"At this point in time the suspect came out of the building and started advancing towards officers," Smith said.
Smith said the device appeared to resemble an explosive, but was actually some sort of red flotation device stuffed with chocolate candy bars wrapped in aluminum foil with wire connecting them.
"It doesn't not appear this device was capable of actual explosives," Smith said.
