KENT, Wash. — A man has been taken into custody and guns were recovered after an hourslong standoff Wednesday at a Kent apartment.
Law enforcement was called and surrounded an apartment at the Olympic Skyline Apartments located at 235th Place.
Witness told the authorities a man was arguing with his neighbors, pointed a gun at them and ran into his apartment.
They said that when the man entered his apartment, gunshots were heard from inside.
At that point, a SWAT team secured the area and a trained hostage negotiator talked with the man.
After hours of negotiations, a judge authorized a warrant for the man’s arrest.
The man refused to surrender, forcing a K-9 unit and Valley SWAT officers to take the man into custody.
He was treated for injuries at the scene.
No other injuries were reported.
