All clear after a man barricaded himself inside a downtown Seattle apartment building Monday evening. The intersection of 3rd Ave & Pine St near the McDonald’s was closed down for several hours. Witnesses say they heard a loud bang. Looked like a war zone with all the police cruisers lining the street. By the time I got there investigators were wrapping up. Unclear if anyone was injured.
