DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: And we are also keeping a close eye on a tense hostage situation that is now unfolding in Norway. A man believed to be armed with a shotgun has stormed into a kindergarten day care center in a small city on Norway's west coast. Let's bring in our own Hans Petter Aass, who is close to the scene and has more information for us now from Norway. Hans, what's the latest?</s>HANS PETTER AASS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, just about 20 minutes ago, about 15 people were released from the building. So now there is only five kid and two grownups left in the building. And we also know that the man who walked in around 11:00 p.m. local time this morning -- a.m., that should be -- he has claimed that he's a lawyer who gets to the seen from Stavanger, which is about two hours drive from here. So are waiting for the lawyer to come here. Police hope that will clear up the situation, but we don't know.</s>KAGAN: When we talked to you earlier, you said there was possibility that this man was perhaps the father of one of the children in the kindergarten class. Do you know anything more about that?</s>AASS: He is actually married to one -- he was actually married to one of the employees in the kindergarten. And she has been a witness in a criminal case against him. So this is probably trying the motivation behind the story.</s>KAGAN: Quickly, the people...</s>AASS: That is what we are told anyway.</s>KAGAN: The people who were released, they were in good condition?</s>AASS: Yes, very good condition. The kids have been out, playing in groups. And then, when a certain time has gone, they have been called back in, and then another group has came out to play. So they were in good shape.</s>KAGAN: Good news. Hopefully, this whole thing can be resolved without anybody being hurt. That report coming to us from Hans Petter Aass from Norway.
