MCLEAN, Va. — The wife of Sen. Judd Gregg (search), R-N.H., was abducted at gunpoint from her home on Tuesday morning, but later released unharmed, said suburban Virginia police and spokesmen for the senator.

Police said that 52-year-old Kathleen Gregg arrived at her house about 9:30 a.m. to find two men waiting inside. One drew a weapon and demanded cash, said Jacki Smith, a spokeswoman for the Fairfax County Police Department (search).

One of the men then drove her to a nearby bank while the other followed in another car, Smith said, reporting that after the men received cash from a teller, they fled the scene in a car and the woman called police.

Sgt. Jeff Gossett of the Fairfax County Police Department told WJLA-TV, "No indication at this time they knew who she was."

Gossett said the senator's wife was "here at the bank, being interviewed by detectives."

"She's unharmed," Gossett said. "She's not injured."

The couple have three children.

Hmm.. I thought it was knifepoint.. at least that was what was said on the news this afternoon.

The story at the link says knifepoint as well.. personally I would rather see it be at knifepoint... the antis sure would be screaming for more control if it was a gun.

Well MSNBC reports knife point...

Fox News reports knife point...

NPR doesn't mention a weapon at all...

and CNN (wonder of wonders) reports gun point in the headline, but in the text of the article say that one of the perps "drew a weapon."

My money is on the fact that is was a knife.

I'm pretty sure it was a knife.. the LEO on camera said it was a knife as well.

Bad ole knifes... maybe we need knife control laws.. make everyone register their knives... those evil knives are so dangerous....
