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.
Significant police presence in the 1500 block of 3rd Avenue. Suspect barricaded and refusing to come out. Negotiators on scene. Please avoid the area.
