Just after 8 p.m. April 25 the Fauntleroy man surrendered to Seattle Police. He was in fact alone in his home, armed with a shot gun. Upon his surrender he was taken in an ambulance, though he appeared unharmed.

More information to come.

6 p.m.
Police have now set off three percussion grenades. Police are instructing the suspect via a loudspeaker to exit the residence through the west door with his hands up.

5 p.m.
SWAT teams and an armored vehicle have surrounded a four-plex in the Fauntleroy neighborhood where an armed man is considered a threat, according to police.

Neighbors called police when they noticed a man who seemed agitated outside of his home with a shotgun, said Seattle Police spokesperson Renee Witt. Witt also said the police believe the incident to be alcohol related.

Police have set up a perimeter around the house, located at the corner of Southwest Wildwood Place and 45th Avenue Southwest. SWAT teams are also on the roof of Canine Casa.

At a few minutes before 5 p.m., police began trying to communicate with the suspect, who they are calling both "Ronald and "Maverick," with a hostage negotiator via a loudspeaker.

At least a dozen times during the past hour police have said, "Ronald, we're asking you to pick up the phone and talk to Mary (assumed to be the hostage negotiator) so we can resolve this."

Police have set off two percussion grenades, which is used for distraction and intimidation, since about 5:20 p.m., said Witt.

Witt said the suspect is the only person who lives in the four-plex and that they have had at least one instance with this particular man before.

The incident started around 2:45 p.m. and is ongoing.
