Man arrested after hours-long standoff
It has been a while since this happened, but I feel now I can post this for the forum.
On May 19th 2018 @ 4:15AM a neighbor directly across the street pull out a 357 pistol and begins shooting homes. Emptying his weapon and reloading to take more shots. Bullets were located in 4 homes including ours, plus 2 more that hit the asphalt roadway in front of our home and house south of us. He sent bullets into both homes north and south of his, just missing a child asleep in a bedroom

and breaking out 2 windows of the home south of him.
Our next door neighbors to north, entered through the house and stopping in the next wall.
The one that hit ours went through a porch post and lodged inside the house outside wall, just missing wife asleep on couch and me in the computer room.

Strangely I predicted this would happen and told the wife that someday he is going to shoot up the neighborhood. This guy has been nose diving his life with alcohol and now he included meth into the mix. We live in a very respectable neighborhood, but this shithead just happens to live in it. Police took me to the side and warned me very specifically to be careful when he is released. They mentioned that their hands are tied because of Washington State laws and that he could cause additional harm and damage when he returns home after serving time. They seemed very informative about making sure we protected ourselves at all cost if something was to happen again. They were unhappy that this guy would even get out at all. I thanked them for the warning giving.
Police arrived seconds after the shots were fired, then SWAT arrived soon after. Below is a short video of SWAT launching tear gas into the home. They sent approximately 40 to 60 canisters into the house, staining the walls yellow from all the condensed gas. The German Shepard you see is one of the house owner's dogs, not a police dog.
The neighbor after hours of sitting in his basement and being completely gassed finally surrendered and was taken to jail and booked for multiple counts of assault and remains there under a $100,000 bond. Right after he surrendered, SWAT entered the house. Notice the broken windows from tear gas launchers. only 2 windows survived in the entire house. A SWAT tank came into back yard and flattened the cyclone fence and an extend ram on vehicle pushed holes into house walls and broke in windows to send teargas in from the rear of house.

After it was over, the entire law enforcement had a huge Pow Wow show below.

It was a crazy morning for sure and I hope the guy stays in jail for a long time. I heard rumors that he will be required to attend some special classes of some kind and he is not to return to the neighborhood or he will be placed back in jail. Though he has not gotten out at this time.
