Leach Claims No Harm In Chessie Office Hostage Siege
A Huntington West Virginia man accused of seizing 13 hostages at the Chessie System offices in Cleveland last August faces 16 counts. Mara Louise Hoffman testified Leach fired at a light fixture and threatened to shoot if he did not get his way. She described being pulled from the scene as police released captives from a small fire room while Leach brandished a shotgun and pistol.
