The man, who was not identified by name, is known to local authorities and has behaved erratically in the past, a source told NBC News' Pete Williams. The source, who was not identified, told Williams the man went to a local hardware store earlier Friday, where he apparently bought some of the material he wore into the campaign office.

The man apparently bought road flares, according to a local resident who spoke with a relative of the man.
