Staff at the village called 911 just after 12:30 on Thursday afternoon. They reported a man was shooting out of the window of his tiny home toward the common areas of the village.

When a 23-year-old employee went to go check on him, police said he fired two more shots through the door. Fortunately, the employee was not hurt.

As police arrived, other residents were trying to run away from the area. Officers helped evacuate others from the village.

The suspect then barricaded himself inside his tiny home. Therefore, officers with the Seattle Police Hostage Negotiation Team arrived.

Officers were able to reach the suspect on his cell phone and started negotiating with him. A police SWAT team also responded.

While officers were there, the man allegedly shot more rounds from his gun. However, no officers were injured.

After a standoff that lasted for nearly two hours, members of the Hostage Negotiating Team persuaded the man to surrender. Officers were then able to take the man into custody.

Police said the man is a convicted felon and was prohibited from possessing a firearm. He was booked into King County Jail for assault and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Police recovered ballistic evidence. Officers also obtained a search warrant and found a nine-millimeter handgun and a magazine.

So far, it’s unclear why the man started shooting. Detectives with the Gun Violence Reduction Unit have been assigned to the case.
