WTF! A 1 LEGGED MAN IN A WHEELCHAIR TOOK HOSTAGES @ A POST OFFICE & THEN SURRENDED TO POLICE!

A gunman with a wheelchair who turned the Christmas holiday into a frightful ordeal for a small community in western Virginia has surrendered, police say.
According to police, Walter "Gator" Taylor of Tennessee exited the post office late Wednesday night in his wheelchair after keeping local law enforcement at bay for nine hours. Three hostages also emerged from the building.

FBI and state police negotiators convinced the suspect to surrender, CNN reports.

Taylor - who is missing one leg and wears a prosthetic - entered the post office Wednesday afternoon with a black duffle bag, said Wythe County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Keith Dunagan. He then fired a gun, kicking off the hostage situation.

It was initially reported that there were five hostages. However, it was later determined that only three people were inside after several others escaped.

According to Dunagan, Taylor's only demand was for pizza. His motive for the incident remains unclear.
