What would you do if you were in the Discovery Channel building when an armed eco-terrorist arrived?
Mildred Ugay, a research strategist for Discovery, said she was at her fourth-floor desk when an alarm sounded. She said employees initially thought it was a fire drill, but they shortly received a work email that explained a gunman was in the building.
She and coworkers went into an office, closed the door and turned on a TV to watch reports of the incident, Ms. Ugay said. A law-enforcement official eventually told them to go to a higher floor, which they did. About 45 minutes later, they were told to leave the building.
