Police: Suspect arrested after hours-long standoff, shooting at officers in Everett

EVERETT, Wash. - Police arrested a suspect who allegedly fired shots at officers in a standoff that lasted several hours in Everett on Wednesday.

According to the Everett Police Department (EPD), officers responded to an unlawful discharge complaint at a home on Paine Field Way near Hollow Dale Pl. around 12:23 p.m. on Wednesday.

Police say a man came outside, fired rounds at officers, and officers fired back. The man then went back inside the house, and an hours-long standoff began. At around 11:30 p.m., FOX 13 learned that the suspect was taken into custody, and treated after making contact with a K9 officer.

No officers were injured in the shooting. It is unknown if the suspect was hit by gunfire.

A woman near the standoff location captured video of the suspect shooting at her window before the standoff.

Nearby residents were evacuated by police. Many recall hearing intermittent gunfire.

"It was like every once in a while, it wasn't all at once. It was probably one and then a couple minutes later just another one," said neighbor Angela Ehle.

Neighbors who remained in the area were asked to shelter in place until further notice.

The Skagit County Multiple Agency Response Team (SMART) will be leading the investigation into this shooting involving an officer.

This is a developing story.
