A man was arrested after police standoff in Ballard early this morning.
Lauri Miller (AKA Silver) first reported the standoff in the My Ballard Group at 4am this morning.
According to Seattle Police, officers responded to a residence near 24th Ave NW and NW 57th St after a man threatened to harm someone. The man, believed to be in his late 20s, had armed himself with a pistol and refused to come out of the house.
Police set off a flashbang, a distraction device, and were able to get him to come out of the house just after 5am, when he was arrested by police.
Thanks to Lauri and Eric for providing updates in the My Ballard Group
I’m guessing he will not be prosecuted. Absolutely insane. How much longer are we going to tolerate the no-action City Prosecutor’s office? Thank you, SPD.
One block from the commons. Coincidence? No.
